Re: what usb -> serial adapter should i get?
I have an interesting situation.
I bought a belkin usb to serial port cable and it could work for the dashboard but using the ifi loader would not detect the controller nor download data. I returned that and bought the radio shack version someone mentioned and its hooked up right this minute. Again the dashboard works fine but downloading and initializing /reading the controller doesn't work. I tried changing the buffer tried changing the speeds up and down to no effect. Can someone please help me. I bought a new laptop and it doesn't have aserial port, which I knew when I bought it but I didn't think the usb to serial port converter would be this hard to get working. I would buy a pcmcia card to serial (which I did) but something I didn't realize the laptop doesn't have the slot, instead its an express card slot, which I can order a serial port for but they're $50+. I would use my old laptop but the screen, harddrive and cd-rom are dying. -Mike |

Re: what usb -> serial adapter should i get?
We are using a VEX USB-Serial cable on my MacBook Pro running Windows XP SP2 with no problems.
The VEX driver is even included in the easyC install (I think... If not, you can always use the CD it came with or download the driver.) This is really convenient. Jacob |

Would you be willing to post the driver? The stores in my area only sell the version which is just the cable which comes with a basic driver. Did you buy the RS # 276-2152 ? I am begining to think its no longer available? -Mike |

Also, don't even bother with the SIIG expresscard serial adapter. Its just a express card to usb adapter and usb to serial adapter in one card. |
