USB-RS232 Adapter for Windows7 64 bit

Having just purchased a new computer for my observatory I found one major problem with getting my mount and robofocus working with Windows7 64bit.
The USB-RS232 adapters I had would not run on the 64 bit machine.

I searched everywhere I could to get an adapter that would work but found the going quite tough.
I ended up contacting Gary Kopff of Wilcard Inovations (Argo Navis).
Gary sent me out two Keyspan USB-RS232 adapters to try. They worked a treat with installation and connection very simple.

Thanks Gary.

Well your a braver man that me Doug. There's no way I'd plonk a 64bit machine into a spot that needed it to drive a bucket load of hardware.
