I haven't had used a "real" (old fashioned) serial port on any PC that controls radio equipment in probably 10 years. It's really not necessary if you purchase quality USB/Serial adapters (no fake chipsets) where needed. The only PC I have with a old-fashioned serial port is an ancient Toshiba laptop I keep around that runs DOS so I can program old Motorola radios.
