hello im new to the forms and just got a new windows vista and with my old comp (still have it) i was able to use the serial cable that came with my BASIC stamp Rev B but with my new vista it dose not have the thing to connect it in to, so i was thinking of taking the serial cable and cutting off the part that connects to the comp and taking a USB cord and soldering them together, now i dont know if its really safe for the stamp or witch wires to solder together if i where to do this
i do remember one time i saw schematics on the internet on witch wires to connect together but cant find them now
so in short these are the questions
1. is it safe to do this
2. dose anyone have or could make schematics for me
3. or dose any place even sell this kind of cable?

This will allow you to connect your existing cable to a USB cable.
