The proper USB2EQ6 cable for an EQ6Pro "looks" just like a std USB2serial adapter, ( both physically, and as a USB2Ser converter in device mangler ) but the DB9 is wired differently, ie as well as converting to TTL data, it also has the Tx Rx and ground wires remapped to suit the DB9 port on the mount.
If the EQDIR module is expecting data on the std PC mappings for a DB9 COM port, it wont get data if plugged into a USB2EQ6 cable.
Be interesting to see what maps to what in that case.

Yeah I saw the original post, although it look different than I first thought mainly because I saw reference to a generic driver. Anyway USB-EQ6 cable should already be mapped for the right pin-outs. I am sort of going to give up seeing that he has it working. Need to clear the mind of confusion!
