Just a note, most USB to Serial adapters do not work with the latest STK-500 firmware (the one that comes with AVR Studio 4.12 SP3). All tested PC serial ports do work however. None of the tested USB to serial adapters work including the brands Belkin and Toshiba.
If you need to use a laptop computer with an STK-500, make sure to buy one with a serial port, buy a USB programmer, use a Parallel programmer (if you are lucky to have a laptop with parallel), or fork out for a PCMCIA serial card, like this one which at the time of writing was $69 from Computer Alliance.
