ST-4 connection to laptop

Hi. I have recently tried to connect my ST-4 to my laptop, and have experienced poor connections. My system is as follows: 10' serial cable, Pentium 2 300mhz, 128mb ram, CCDSoft software. The best connection I can get is about 19.2K. I thought about connecting to my USB port if possible. Would that increase my connection speed? The light/dark frame transfer time currently is sort of slow at 19.2. Does anyone know where to get such a connector to go from the serial connection on the ST-4 to the USB on the laptop. I dearly love my ST-4 and would genuinely love to get it going on the CCDSoft if possible. Any suggestions out there?

Mike,

Are you sure that the ST-4 designed some ten or twelve years ago can even spell USB, much less communicate with it?
