Meade LX90 & Windows 10

Has anyone had success connecting their Meade LX90 to a Windows 10 computer.

I have checked the Meade cable I have with an Ohmeter against the Pinouts shown on Weasler & they are correct & the cable has continuity.

I purchased a Serial to USB cable from Jaycar (Prolific chipset) & have had nil success in achieving a connection.

I am aware that the Prolific serial to USB cables have a patchy success rate despite the fact that is what Meade sells in their cable kit but, I'm also wondering if it could be a Windows 10 / 64Bit OS issues.

Considering taking the plunge & purchasing a Keyspan Serial to USB cable but, they are pricey & I want to see if anyone else has had success before expending a considerable sum of money on a different cable.

Thankyou in advance for any advice or comment on success or otherwise.
