I've used USB serial adapters successfully to connect to legacy
hardware. The adapter's device driver should make it look like a
standard COM port on Windows.<br>

These used to be standard serial output devices, which would make them
easy, IF you have a serial port.
Resellers tell me that now they are more likely to be USB, with a serial
shim so you can drive them as though they were serial, but that that
sometimes works poorly. I think the guy said they prefer to be printers
now.
If you need this to work in a terminal emulation environment (Anzio), can
do.
