USB -> RS-232 adaptors

[computergroove]

Windows 7 x64 - only drivers I could get to work for Tripp Lite Keyspan USB to Serial Device. Current Link to adapter page - http://www.tripplite.com/en/products...xtModelID=3914 (click on support tab and download driver for windows 7 x64 (beta driver)) or direct driver link - http://www.tripplite.com/shared/soft...ndows%207).zip

Sorry to restart this topic but having dusted off the Thoughtstream (original RS232 version) and installed all the relevant USB software from MP I can't get past 'No Data' on the Thoughtstream USB Software.

I am using the RS232 to USB adapter on COM4 and the software points to the same. I have an FTDI adapter (FT232R USB UART) - I am using a 64bit ACER with Windows 10.

please advise - any idea why the device says it functions correctly but I get no data.

The question is whether it will work with Windows 10 in principle

Will what work?
If you're asking about the USB adapter from MindPlace, then Yes. It works.

Hi , I have a Proteus bought it on eBay really cheap ,I'm trying to update the firmware as it's very old v1.2 displays when the proteus is powering up. The MP Proteus serial jack to usb is not available ( broken link ) ,could I buy a generic prolific usb to serial adapter from AliExpress or Amazon , will it work ? If I follow the guide here ? Thanks in advance . Tahir

I tried a generic serial adaptor ,, when I try updating the fw the device led numbers Flashing so fast then it stops supposedly flashing is complete then it shows BaD on the proteus. ! The fw is still is same as before , is this bAd something to do with incorrect type serial jack to usb plug.
