yes m8 there are adapters that are specially for this
but a word of warning they are a bit hit and miss and not all of them work well
i bought one from a computer fair and could not get it to work cost me about £12
looked on e**y picked one up for £3 worked perfect

The main problem with them is the drivers. You have to make sure you have the latest drivers loaded (get them from the manuf web site).

Once the correct drivers and NOT a general driver is loaded they work great.
