usb autotap?
I was in the exact same situation today. I was all set to hook up the Atap to my new HP and there is no serial port on the damm thing. 
I also have an an adapter, but I paid $50 for mine for CompUSAs website. 
I originally needed the adapter for a program for work. I hooked up the adapter and ran the program but it would not reconise the port of my work program. 
I talked to my tech staff and they said it was a limitation of our program.I decided to call B&B Electronics today, but I was told that BOTH techs were busy, 
lol. I hung up and tried it anyway and it worked fine. 
It had to look through something like 14 ports to find it, but nine the less it works. I would NOT by another Atap, when u will need this adapter for other things as well. Good Luck, I would try his $30 part b4 CompUSA's $50.

Just bought my adapter from Best Buyer. $39.95 with a $10 mail in rebate. Easy. Load the software follow the instructions, plug in the adapter and off you go . No problems (so far). Will be using it for both Atap and LS1 Edit.

My only complaint so far was the registration. The key would not work. I called them and they said to add two zeros to the front of the hardware serial number and put dashes, instead of spaces, for the reg key
I told them well perhaps you should just print it that way
