Maplin currently sell a "dirt-cheap" (£25 or so) USB 2.0 adapter, the
X-Force or something similarly named. Lurid green "CD"-sized package.

I just downloaded the zd1211 package from SourceForge, compiled it up,
and it worked.

The package now appears to be in Debian testing, though.

There are probably better ones.
