Plan B seems the most trouble-free solution, and yes, there are pc cards to replicate just about every port there is. Socket makes a lot of them, and most are sold by Essex Portables Solutions. They're at www.goessex.com and 1-800-go-essex. The high-speed serial adapter is listed at $159, there are also cards allowing 2 and 4 serial ports through a single card.
