The documentation says that when I plug in the USB end, Windows should create another device in my "Ports (COM & LPT)" section in device manager. That doesn't happen in Parallels, though it does happen on a regular desktop PC.

So that has been my experience. Anybody have ideas? We were so close...
Did you install drivers for the USB adapter on the mac, or on Windows XP?
