USB to serial is pretty much sorted.

In a little while a few people will be along to tell you that their
particular combnation works. Best bet is to try your laptop with someone
elses USB/Serial pod, verify its working and then buy one of those.

My new laptop does not have a serial port for connecting to my Cambridge
GPS.

What are the best options?

USB to Serial - I hear of those not working.

PCMCIA to Serial - Is this an option.

Any advice appreciated.
