Hi,


Does the Parallax USB to Serial (RS-232) Adapter
work in Windows Vista ? , Thanks

I can't find this information.
It seems that is for 2000/XP versions only.

Do you know ?

Thanks,

The problem I found is that the PDF
shows that the USB Adapter works
for 2000/XP and there is no information
about Vista.

For this reason I am not sure if it is 100%
compatible.

Thanks, Mark

The site was supposed to have been updated. I recently bought one for the same reason. Works great with Vista with no problems at all. Very nice small design. I got the one with USB cable for $20.

Mine worked fairly well weth vista, but some communication problems did ensue and now I can't write out to the serial port with my C# program while my pic Basic program is running. It gives me some Smile about not having permission to access the com port. The software the USB to serial port converter came with worked very well.

I've been using it with Vista Home Premium for over a year with no trouble.
