USB to Serial / WeatherLink?
I have just received my USB to Serial Converter cable but it appears to be
USB V 1.1 complient and supports Windows 98/2000 & ME. I did put the CD in that contains the drivers but it warned me that it may damage or destablise my current system, probably because it's USB 2.0. I'm going to just try plugging the 9-way D into the converter and see what happens, but before I do this I wonder if anyone could advise me of what I should or should not do? Many thanks in anticipation. Keith (Southend) -- ***************************************** Weather Home & Abroad http://www.soouthendweather.net |

I use these devices all the time on XP, some don't have Windows certification but all have worked up until now! |
