that's weird bro.. cos most motherboard is just the opposite as you, having DB9 male serial port than female. cos long ago we use serial mouse and the connector is a female so u need a male serial port...
in any case bro, yeah, there are converters and cables from serial to usb, serial female to male and vice versa. i'm doing a company project related to your problem.. check out moxa's website:

other than that, you can buy a PCI I/O add on card for serial port expansion.make sure u get a male end connector this time. all the best!

Serial to USB ought to artwork (I have had mixed consequences, no longer particular if the iPod will artwork), i ought to call Radio Shack, see in the adventure that they have got were given one, they're no longer expensive yet make certain the bypass lower back insurance.
