Hello All, you can purchase a serial cable with a 25 pin to 9 pin connection, this is purchased from Humanware for $15 plus shipping. If you want the bluetooth device, do a search on google for bluetake and look for the bluetake 250 I believe, I don't remember what the cost of this device was, because I oped for the serial cable the least expensive.
