You can not use a standard pc to run the Speed-Mat Sprite. The system is proprietary. I have worked for Harry Esterly
for almost ten years we did assemble the Sprite. The controller came from over seas. Alfred is the mans name that designed this. I would need to contact Harry because I do not know how to get a hold of Alfred. Harry had sold the company some years ago I sure miss working for Harry. I handled most of the tec calls and have built hundreds of the Speed-Mats. Back to the Sprite as far has the serial cable I do have the schematic to wire it. I have most of the drawings. If you still need help let me know I will do what I can for you.
