I have an ACER laptop 64 bit running Windows 7 home premium.
I have VMware 8.04 installed and run Ubuntu 12.04 as a virtual system.
I have a standard clone (?) pl2302 that runs perfectly on Linux but does not work in Win 7 (irrespective of USB/port assignments).
Conversly I have a Belkin USB-RS232 adapter that works great in Win-7 but there is no Linux driver for it.
I use the Com ports to drive the LX200 (native). So need carry both adapters.
Sometimes you can't win!
