Just got on MSD site...Thanks 
Tech Tip - Recommended USB Adapter: IOGear GUC232A 
IOGear-CouponCodeThe adapter cable is available from “IOGEAR” www.iogear.com part number is GUC232A IOGEAR calls it a “USB to Serial/PDA Converter Cable”
IOGEAR has offered our customers a 20% off discount. Please use this coupon code when shopping at IOGEAR: MSDIGNSA
Note: MSD has discovered the majority of USB to Serial communications problems are derived from device driver software. The device driver software is included with the USB to Serial Port Adapter by the adapter manufacturer. The device driver software must pass Microsoft Windows driver certification in order to operate the adapter correctly. IOGEAR has updated device driver software available for download on their website that is compatible with Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit versions. MSD Ignition recommends the use of the IOGEAR USB adapter over other manufacturers.

Well...just to let you all know....went to radioshack and bought a Gigaware USB to Serial adapter and then since it's not Windows 8 compatible, I had to go to Microsoft site and down loaded an update.... Back on line with the MSD box.
$24 and no shipping Just for future info

In my field of work I've noticed that a lot of communications cables that are in any condition other than "office" use usually have the serial ports or ports like the serial due to there ability to withstand harsher conditions. Just my .02
