Default AEM EMS Problem

Well since AEM can't keep their website up to save their life I'll ask this here.
Why do they use a com port for the EMS, do they know that pc's have not come with com ports in like 5 years? Can I use a USB adabter with this thing? Or how else can I hook it up?

Thanx

All comps come with a COM port. On the back of your pc it has a symbol that looks like this |0|0|

Well my laptop doesn't have one that will connect to it. It has a monitor port that is male and the cable that AEM sent has a male also. If I get an adapter will it work?

...Why do they use a com port for the EMS, do they know that pc's have not come with com ports in like 5 years?...
My P4-1600 Toshiba laptop is less than 1 week old. It has a com port. Can you tell me of ANY stand alone that does not require a serial port for communication?

List of stand alone computers requiring a serial port:
Hondata, AEM, Speed Pro, Motec, Electromotive, Haltech, Link etc...

List of stand alone computers directly supporting a USB Port:


You are right, I guess they don't know that PC's don't come with com ports anymore. Nor does anyone else in the world, including most laptop manufacturers and all engine management systems manufacturers.
