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
