Connecting Siemens S7-200 and S7-300, how?

[flyers]

Hi guys,

I'll be doing 2 projects using Siemens PLC, S7-200 and S7-300. Can someone please let me know what is the correct programming cable/tool I need to purchase? I've gone thru some old manual about PC and TC adapter, and it comes in many version, while some people ask me to use USB adapter. Please help.

My notebook has USB and serial port, running Windows XP Pro.

Thank you.
