Does anyone know where, or if you can get a lead that will connect into the back of my Advent 7011 lap top and the other end into the Road Angel?????

Its only got 2 usb ports, a printer socket, and a monitor socket. It's my own fault for buying a PC World lap top. The road angel updates fine from my desktop PC, but I got this lap top so I could do away with the big one.

I would recommend an USB to Serial adapter. I can't believe that I'm defending DSG but: you will find that parallel and serial ports are now regarded as being redundant and latest road maps have deleted these ports.

After I put up the question I had a look on Ebay and found a USB to serial connection. I didn't even realise you could get these. I guess I shouldn't be let loose on a PC. Thanks for the help though people :-)
