Hi,

An USB to serial (or to parallel) converter if you have an old programmer.
The USB post in itself if you have a more modern programmer.

My Toshiba laptop, bought last year, has got no serial or parallel ports and the only laptops which has still got any of the old style ports, are few and far apart these days (usually you have to go for a more expensive model to get that simple addition).

Don't know why you'd want them though, only really old equipment needs it and, after all, a laptop is geared towards computing on the move, not stationary work. If you still need it, get a converter, they're fairly cheap.
