ifi loader with no serial port

[Jared Stofflett]

The subject says it all. I program on a laptop with no serial port. I have tryed a usb to serial converter which doesn't work. If anyone has any ideas on how to upload I'd appreciate it.

we've always used a USB dongle.. try all the COM ports in IFI loader till you reach a port that actually works.. hope this helps :]

Check the other thread. A guy found one that works.

it was com4 for me even though the package for the converter listed it as com3.

COM ports can be changed.

Here's how for win2k/xp users:
1. Navigate to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System
2. Select Hardware tab
3. Click on Device Manager
4. Expand 'Ports (COM & LPT)'
5. Right click on your converter/connection device
6. Select Properties
7. Select Port Settings tab
8. Click on Advanced
9. Change COM Port Number to whichever port you wish to use
