Help to find USB/Serial adapter for Win 7

[Astroman]

Hi guys,

Someone out there should have an answer :) I have tried my old Belkin F5U405 Adapter and my U232-P9 adapter on my Win7 64bit machine but it will not load the drivers for it, and will not work... Does anyone know of a Prolific USB/Serial adapter or even a driver that will work under Win7-64bit?

I have had no issues with my Keyspan USA19h and my Toshiba Win7 64 bit i7 laptop - available from Wildcard (Argo Navis manufacturer) at about $50.

Keyspan - have a look on eBay for a good price from the US. I have two (mount & Robofocus) running via a hub on my Win 7 laptop.

I have Win7-64 drivers for a Prolific PL2303 USB Serial adapter. PM me if you want to try.

Prolific are still providing drivers on their website for the 2303 chipset as well

Found this driver set for U232-P9

I just tried their drivers as I found a USB/Serial device in my junk box and my Win 7 system recognised it as a PL2303. The drivers didn't work and Prolific said the error code I got was typical for cheap chinese knock-offs of their chipset. No wonder I had filed it in my JB.

Hi Trevor,

YES! this one worked a treat. Thankyou very much. I did have a bit of a worry though when my computer didnt start up again... I got really worries so I disconnected all USB ports, found out it was the USB line to my mobile phone which prevented it from starting, I guess it was looking at it as a mass storage device... wont do that again...

Thanks to everyone else for their help also. Your efforts may have worked also but Trevors was the first I tried...

Andrew.
