Correct. I was thinking that I had seen blasters that worked with a USB 
adapter, but now that I think about it those were the "MyBlaster" units 
that used the serial port in a standard manner and did not depend on 
computer-generated timings.

Sadly, I believe those blasters are no longer available (at least not new).
