My recent acquisition of a new LVB Tracker came with serial only, not the USB option. At first I thought this might be an issue but quickly found that you can buy a nice FTDI USB to serial cable for around $15 online. It is a very clean solution. I was told that the USB option had given some LVB Tracker users issues hence why serial was supplied.
