My ECU says M7 on it.

I've been itching to try this program out, and was going to wait... but with all the "productive debate" going on in here, I just can't.
A USB-serial adapter perhaps?

These serial adapters are sold with a disk that contains the software drivers needed to make them work. Buy one that can be returned in case it does not work properly on your computer, especially with the USB adapter. There are reports of compatibility problems with these USB to serial adapters, and they can be tricky to get working properly on certain computers. The USB adapter we have had the best reports about is the Belkin F5U103, and these can be found on ebay for $10 or less.
