Keyspan USB-Serial Driver for Win7?

Just wondering if anyone has found a driver for the Keyspan USB-Serial adaptor (USA-19HS) that works with Win7 64 bit?

I can only seem to find v3.75 on their website:

Cheers,

Peter

If you just plug it in, Windows will download the driver automagically.

Pete, I tend to plug stuff in first to see if windows can find a driver at Microsoft. Obviously that doesn't work for astro cameras and the like but it seem to work for most usb devices like usb-serial, eqmod usb dongles, webcams, printers and stuff.

Thanks Robin - got it all working now . Pixinsight calibrated all my M20 subs in 30 mins. This took about 3 hours on my old XP laptop.

Yep - got an i7-3610QM. Quite a step up on the old Toshiba core 2 duo. Also got FHD 1920x1080 17" screen - fits a lot more than the 15" 1280x800 on the Toshiba.

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!
