New Computer has no Serial Port. How to do ICD?

[richard]

Yeah, I have melabs programmer for programming the PIC chips. I just figured since the USB programming cable for the PICAXE uses serial communication to the PICAXE chip to program it that it might work. Yes, I have the driver installed and use it all the time for programming the picaxe chips. It shows up in Micro Code Studio also, on the drop down where you select the COM port for the ICD. I'll go ahead and get one like you guys are showing though, just to make sure I got it right. Thanks for the help fellas.
