So you'd need the mini din to de-9 newt cable(sometimes incorrectly called a db-9) and a de-9 /usb adapter which is cheap and readily available. You could also use a mini din to mini din cable with a mini din/usb adapter but I haven't seen those in stores as much. I use the mini din to de-9 cable with a de-9/usb adapter with no problems myself. Hth
Then you've never seen a PC in the last 10 years. They are usually
called PS2 or miniDIN-6 cables. You can see a picture here:
