[Flexradio] USB to Serial Converter Question

2009-11-03 Thread Bill Jourdain
Anyone here had any luck with any USB to Serial converters that will run (i.e., have a signed driver) under Win7 64 bit? I would like to connect my LP-100A through DDUtil, but my only available com port is taken up by my SteppIR controller. Thanks 73, Bill AB4BJ http://www.ab4bj.com

No offense taken. You are correct that the Win7 64 bit system I put together is more than I need at this point, but I decided to get as close to the "bleeding edge" as possible to avoid (I hope) another system upgrade for a while. I must say, however, that this system outperforms my expectations
