The adapter is used to connect to a laptop, for example, that has no serial connector. In the UK these adaptors are a costly 30 squid. Just thought it may be a simple task to make one and save some notes. Wouldn't that be a USB to Serial adapter though? It's not just a matter of connecting a few wires together, it would be far more time and cost-effective to buy one ready made even if you already had enough knowledge to built it without asking in the first place.
