Most computer hardware that is currently released will utilize the latest USB connections. Unfortunately, not all business computers and equipment is up to date. This does not mean that a company needs to investigate getting all new equipment and computers. It simply means that special adapters may need to be used to make certain products work properly. An adapter for USB to serial connections will generally solve the problem when it comes to older equipment. When going to a serial connection, it will no longer have the speed as through USB, but it still should allow the equipment to work properly.
