the printed circuit:

The circuit is so simple that you can also do it on a small proto board!

And remember there are no drivers needed, and no problems with power coming from the (portable?) PC.
Just 2 wires enter the PC: (simple)PCM signal and ground.
In FMS you select the COM port (if you have USB only, use an additional serial to USB conversion cable), and PIC serial interface at 19,200 bps.
Works without any adaptation with all Windows versions.
