Caliyo Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 My laptop has no serial port. So I bought a USB serial Adapter. You plug it into the USB port and has a serial port on the other end. It didn't come with any drivers so I'm not sure how to configure it. Mad!!! Any help would be appreacatied. Thanks! Quote
kaseytraeger Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Have you tried doing a search in your favorite search engine? Just type in the manufacturer's name and the model number, and you're bound to find either something directly from the manufacturer or something from someone else who's already used the device. You might also find drivers that you can download. When I had my old 100MHz computer with a whopping 1.2GB of hard drive space (back in '96), I lost the driver disk for my scanner but was able to download it from the internet quite easily. Quote
Madmanmcp Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Hi Caliyo, things to check. How old is the computer and what Operating System does it have...does this OS support your USB version. What version of USB are both pieces. There are two versions which is a problem at times, version 1.1 and version 2. Quote
