Hi all,

what is the best serial to usb adpter for windows 7 operating system?
i've bought couple but, no luck


thanks

 

This brand has always worked for everyone who has tried it.
IOGEAR - GUC232A - USB to Serial RS-232 Adapter

 

I use the Belkin F5U409v1, it has worked perfectly on every laptop I have tried it on.

 

thanks guys , i'm going to best buy to pick up one of these...

 

Only the IOGEAR one has a built in buffer, that is why it is better.
The other is only a cable.

 

funny you posted that, it's the one I got from walmart like 5 years ago to use with my megasquirt...
So far I've used it on the MS and PFC, 5 differant laptops with XP and 7 and have never needed to load extra drivers.

I can never get the blue ended longer cables that the other guys have to work (and I told scott I think they suck anyway)

I got mine from walmat but I just looked and they don't carry it in the store anymore.

 

^^^ Im gonna get one of my own when you arent looking.

 

Order online!

 

Wait until Phil leaves his window down.

 

Don't give (waste) your money at Best Buy; Amazon or Walmart!

 

Geeks . com is you best bet they are really cheap also check pricewatch

 

Cheapest one available( I bought an ebay one for 4.99 shipped.. all drivers are relatively the same just make sure the com port used for the adapter and the one the FC Edit are the same and its good to go..
