Search on Ebay for 'rs232 to usb' make sure you select the right cable and get a windows 7 compatible one.

Or you could use a really old PC if you have one around.

On a seperate note, I would personally sell the DM800 and get a DM800se as they are far better, quiet, no overheating and much more stable in my opinion.

Dont forget to say Thanks! :-)
