Serial adaptors can be hit or miss depending on the adaptor. Some work well and some work horribly. A serial PCM card is the best option but I have been using an adaptor for the last couple of years without issue. The latest Hydras and Vista work best with true serial or the PCM card.
Thanks, Phil www.elementtuning.com |

try to find one that has a low speed capability on it. there is actually a thread that mentions a few brands on it. mine is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 and is made by IOGEAR.

I had issues initially with my usb to serial conversion cable. I ended up changing the com port speed from 19200 to 9600 (the device manager in windows control panel). No issues since.

No 07 units shipping yet but you're on the list so quit bugging me We are getting close to releasing some units for testing purposes. Thanks, Phil www.elementtuning.com Last edited by Element Tuning; 06-08-2007 at 11:58 AM. |
