Well, i need to drive an evaluation board consisting of Atmel's ATMEGA8L microcontroller. This evaluation board is driven from a computer through usb port and serial port, both. For that i have a usb connector (that connects through computer and my circuit) and a serial port (that connects through the serial port of the computer and the circuit) present at the back side of the PC's usually. In my PC, there is no serial port.. I have bought a usb-to-serial convertor cable, but i am still not able to drive that evaluation board through serial port as it helps in transmitting the data from computer to serial port of the circuit.. If somebody out there can me help me out in simulating the program from AVR studio4 software (a source editor) to Megaload ( that helps in simulating the ATMEGA8L IC)... Please help me out,, my email Id is rahul_bagai2006@yahoo.com, send me the friend request through yahoo messenger, to have a chat or to in solving my problem, who so ever has some idea..

They make PCI cards which include a serial port. They often include a parallel and IDE controll also. One of those should solve your problem. If you can not find it as a "serial port" card, look for an IDE controller card which includes a serial port. They are easier to find.

a) serial port on PCI card
b) USB-to-serial dongle.
note: depending on your needs the USB solution might not work; I've had some trouble getting them to read data loggers correctly. OTOH, the PCI cards can be somewhat hard to find.
