    serial port

    Hey,

    I have an application that uses a device which connects through the serial port. I have an older computer that has a serial port so it's not a problem.
    However, I recently looked at some computers at Costco and noticed that the newer computers no longer come with the serial port.
    Is this the case with all motherboards? Are there cards available that can be installed?

    Thanks,

    Yes, most mobos still com with a serial port but the name brand pre built ones are fading.

    A quick google search brings up tons of cards.

    Alternatively, you can use a USB-Serial converter.
