Chris,
While we don't recommend any specific products at GW Micro, I personally
have used one of these to connect some old RS232 gear to my Windows 7
machines at home:

Does anyone know of a serial to USB adapter that will allow an older
external synthesizer, I don't know which one, just that it was new
somewhere in the early to mid 1990s, to work with a brand new
computer? My uncle has severe tinnitus as well as RP and he used this
synthesizer during all of these years as his hearing problems got
worse and now he finds that he is accustomed to comprehending it even
on his worst hearing days, translating the garble of sound easily
after many years of using the device. He has been trying to find a
synthesizer among all of those that come with Window Eyes that he can
get used to, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I just finished
recording a bunch of clips of the Vocalizer voices on the off chance
that they might succed where the others have failed, but I don't hold
out a lot of hope that any of them will work any better since it
really isn't an issue of the quality of the voice, but rather a matter
of being able to comprehend meaning through the loud roaring of
tinnitus. So, I am hoping we can find a way to allow him to continue
to use what he is used to. I wish I could provide more info on which
brand and model he is using, but I am doing all of this over the phone
since he lives a good ways up in the mountains from where I live and
there are two family crises that have hit, one down here and one up
there complicating things. I don't know why things always work out so
that the bad stuff always hit in clusters, but it always seems to work
out that way. I
Thanks for any information.
Regards,
Chris
