hius07: Your solution looks the simplest and cheapest. I would guess that the drivers would be found here:

“Back in the day” (I am getting a bit old), the USB to serial converter cables made by Prolific were very robust. Hope that they still make good stuff.
Thanks for your input. |
for the voltage part use this:

it's easy enough if you are an electronics beginner and you have access to a multimeter and a few resistors
remember to measure the results before applying to the board
