Convert RS-232 to USB on a old notebook

[PicBlaster]

Hi, i have a USB PIC programmer, that i want to use on my old notebook, but the notebook has no usb-port only rs-232 ports.

I have search the net, but only found some circuits for USB to RS-232.

I hope you can help me !!!

Have a look at PL2303:

This is tricky. USB to Serial convertors will not work here. In order to communicate with your usb programmer, you'll need a usb host. If your laptop has a pcmcia slot, it'll be much easier to get a pcmcia usb card.

Another solution is to open up your programmer and check if it is using a usb-to-serial convertor like pl2303 or ft232 chips. You can directly tap out the serial signals.

I think there is no chip available to

realize your intent, because these chips

has no space to live. most of us

do not need these chips. converting

USB to RS232 may make sense,

converting RS232 to USB make

no sense.
