You do know that there are counterfeit Prolific chips and the latest drivers from Prolific disable them. I've had no end of trouble with those lately and I finally bought TrippLite/Keyspan USB-to-serial cables. You don't say where you got the cable you're talking about, but if they have translucent blue plastic, there's a good chance it's a counterfeit chip according to what I've seen on the intarwebs. -- Hisashi T Fujinaka - ht...@twofifty.com BSEE(6/86) + BSChem(3/95) + BAEnglish(8/95) + MSCS(8/03) + $2.50 = latte ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
