Hello 
  Mal,
  QRS doesn't work with a "pure" USB port. Unlike the serial and 
   parallel port the lines of a USB port cannot be used as "switch 
   signals" (or at least I haven't found out how to do so), it are real 
   communication lines. However there should be a simple workaround: a USB 
  to RS232 adapter.  This adapter includes some hardware and software, the 
  last making "to  believe" your PC that there is a RS232 port. These 
  adapters cost about  20 Euro in the shop and I've seen them as low as 5 
  Euro on flea  markets. I don't know if someone already tested one of 
  these adapters with QRS?
