Responding to: ???'s previous message
Yes, there are commercial IO units available that connect to a PC via USB.

There are also chips that will connect a microcontroller such as an 8051 to USB - various options include parallel interface, asyn serial (UART) interface, SPI, etc,...
eg, Maxim, FTDI, Silicon Labs, TI

There are also 8051-derivatives with on-chip USB; eg, Silicon Labs, TI, Cypress (EZ-USB)

When selecting a chip to build your own unit, you need to carefully consider the driver support available...

There's been plenty of discussion before - do the search!
