Yes, i used to use the cable that RC Scoring Pro has on thier site. I did find one issue. Use the drivers for the cable from 2008. If you upgrade the drivers to 2012 release, it will not work. Since laptops no longer have card slots to add serial card, you have to use usb serial adapter. One other option as well, if you are using the serial port, still plug in the usb port on the decoder to a extra serial port. If there is a power failure, the laptop will run the decoder threw the port. AMB no longer supports the usb driver for the decoder. The driver doesnt support 64 bit operation, and was hit and miss in 32 bit operation.

One other thing, make sure you pick a usb port you will use all the time. If you switch usb ports, it will install the software again. How it works is by emulation. If usb port 1 is being used by the software and emulating the port as a serial port, then you switch ports, then it needs to emulate the new port. Just stay with the same port all the time. I just found it to be a hassle to switch.
