You need to purchase a USB to Serial port interface cable that also has the software with it so the USB port can understand what the serial port information is saying. Without it, the USB won't understand the info.
Good luck

I belong to a Yahoo list, the ads are blocked, it's OK, it's the
'moderator' that is a pain. It's the content we have that is so
valuable, the vehicle doesn't matter to me. And let me add my thanks to
Stefan, eh?
