Yep. I got mine at radio shack. It is a serial to USB adaptor. Works great for me.

Not all of them work so keep your receipt in case you have to return or exchange. I tried a couple w/ my Zeitronix that didn't work so I just bought the one they sell on their site.

Go into device manager and see what port your adapter is on (com1 or whatever). Try to manually set it in the LM-1 software.
