For Ken Gracy
Got my USB adapter today. I have two computers, one Win98 and one WinXL. I
decided to plug it into the Win98 to see what would happened.
PC found it, searched, found and installed the driver in less than a minute.
Hooked it up to one of my BOEs and had perfect communication with the Stamp.
Then I tried it on the WinXL computer. It found it but couldn't find the
driver. I went back to the site, clicked on the FTDI drivers and then on the
VCP drivers link. Download the driver that said "XP certified" and unzipped it.
Went back to Add Hardware\USB serial port, pointed the PC at the downloaded
driver and it installed with no problems.
There's been a bit of controversy about USB adapters and I thought you might
like to know that this one works perfectly on both my computers.
