Re: Vista compatibility?
Dell has laptops that have serial ports. Just search a bit. . .

I just installed MPLab7.52 and C18 V2.4 complier and was able to compile our 2006 code. IFI Loader did open and looked for a connection when I tried downloading. . . Don't have VEX or FRC nearby to test fully. I plugged in my USB to serial adapter and it says it is working correctly (Again nothing to test it with)

Visual Studio 2005 does work with Vista after getting the VS2005 SP2

Laptop Specs:
HP Pavillion P4 3.4 ghz
1 GB RAM
100 GB HD

I wouldn't attempt to install on anything less then 1GB RAM

I didn't have any problems with drivers for any of my devices. I did run into some problems with compatibility issues with older software. For Example: Rational Rose (a class digram/model software designer) wouldn't work.

Note: I did a complete reformat when I installed Vista.

Stop by in Milwaukee Eric
