Pete Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 With the release of Vista I'm thinking there maybe a few more soon. I don't own an Apple Mac. I'm an OSx86 homebrew. I'm loving the whole Apple ethos and current ad campaign. Only real annoying thing is I can't get the " marks where they should be - above the number 2!!

I am quite pleasantly surprised to read you're a Windows user with a thing for Macs. A bit like living with a blonde and quite fancying a brunette You wouldn't believe the arguments I've been involved in over the years over Mac vs PC etc! Its almost as fundamental as Evolution vs Creation itself! Ah you mean the '@' missing above the number 2, as I find on this my girlfriend's pc at home! I'm sure CW could get a USB to serial adapter quite easily for his problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like living with a blonde and quite fancying a brunette It's now they're running on top of BSD (The best OS IMHO) and Intel All the power of UNIX, with a marvellous interface to boot. I'm sure CW could get a USB to serial adapter quite easily for his problem. They're very hit and miss and the Motec software (and other) can be VERY fussy over what it works on.

carl0s Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 They're very hit and miss and the Motec software (and other) can be VERY fussy over what it works on. They bloody are, but they can be made to work well. I found the Prolific driver installer to be a bit weird. It said it had installed the latest version but actually hadn't done. Then I noticed that there were two drivers in the package - one for a "Serial Bridge" and the other for a "Serial ... controller or somesuch". One worked well in the end, but plugging the unit into a different USB port resulted in the other driver being used. Once set up properly though, it did work a treat. I used it to flash firmware on a HP Procurve unmanaged switch (still fw upgradable though..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
