Just crack open the case. Better than a USB dongle!

If you motherboard doesn't advertise itself as having a serial port it won't
have those pins.

If it does advertise itself as having a serial port it'll come with the
necessary connector, or possibly it'll be an optional extra.


It's worth a look. I have a contemporary MB that still has the DB9
serial connector. Next to the floppy disk connector. Ha!
