[UK-CONTEST] USB to Serial Adapters

[Adrian Rees]

Hi Pascal
I bought a USB to Serial Adapter from Maplin's in the UK, again cheapest I
could find, and I can't get it to work. The Operating System "sees" the
device as Com 4, but that’s it. Nothing else works.

Anyone got this working, and know the Brand ?

Thanks

Adrian

I do.
I'm using a USB to serial adapter with a simple CI-V interface build 
according to G3VGR circuitry.
It's working well on a laptop (winXP-pro) and on a desktop (Dell/Winxp SP2)
with Win-test and logger32. The usb to serial adapter is the cheapest I
could find in the 
supermarket... (there is no trade mark on it).
