You can hook it directly to a PC serial port.  Here is the note on it:

1.Controls eight hobby (R/C) servos.
2.Opto input takes RS-232, -422,-485, CMOS and TTL.
3.Baud rate configurable for 2400 or 9600.
4.Addressable up to 32 controllers on one port.
5.Compatible with PC's SBC and BASIC Stamp.
6.Steady, glitch free servo outputs.
7.4uS PWM resolution for precise positioning.
8.Compact size, only 1.4 x 1.5 inches.

From Scott Edwards catalog:

Mini SSC (Serial Servo Controller): Modem-like board controls eight
model-airplane servos from your computer or BASIC Stamp (2400 or 9600
baud). Up to 32 controllers can operate from the same computer. Build
walking robots, animations! A full kit is $29. An assembled and tested
unit is $44.

See http://www.lynxmotion.com/control.html for a picture and more info.
Parallax also sells them, see:

Also. Does the Scott Edwards board have the ability to be connected to
a computer? or do you need a "TTL to RS232 converter"?
