it plugs into the back of your computer.and i no the guy selling them on ebay.it will work on most pc,s

Your computer will need a working serial port.
Sometimes referred to as an RS232 port or if you look on the back you see something
similar to what looks like 10101 written above/below it.

Hope that helps.
