USB adapter?

[gottalaff]

Is there an adapter/conversion for a non-USB port computer? I have a USB device but my computer doesn't have USB compatability. I thought I'd ask here because I hate going into places like Best Buy and the like and asking high school kids questions.....

yes, but good luck finding one that you don't have to order

Just go buy a cheap mouse, they come with them. That's what I had to do. Unless you have the time to order one oline.

what kind of device? Printer? mouse? camera? And what kind of stone age computer are you using that doessnt have a USB port? You'd be better off buying a PCI USB card and installing it in your computer.
