Every USB RS232 Adapter requires a driver ... It is possible that some Win2K or WinXP installations may have drivers for certain adapters packaged with the OS install. However it is my experience that this is not the common case. Yes, true - although I must've had better experience than you with my XP installs having the drivers ready to run. It is not uncommon to ... find the driver on its CD to be over 2 years old ... In several cases I have had strange or intermittent behavior ... a new driver version that made all the previous BlueScreen problems go away. This is not limited to USB-to-RS232 adaptors! :-( I once bought a USD-to-IDE adaptor, and used it to connect to a CD writer. It was rubbish - until I found a new driver, and installed that! (that was 98 - not XP) |
