FireB Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 What brand does everyone have? I just purchased the Belkin one http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=459431 And it is not communicating with the Computer at all.... I am just wondering if it is the Serial to USB Adapter or something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Make sure you download and install the drivers for it..I forgot what brand I have, it is the one bestbuy sells.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireB Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hmm..... when I put the CD in, it just opens up a screen to install the LogWorks..... I did right click the my CD Drive and went in to the Driver section and just could not get this to find the driver.... They have something called Driver Package Installer but even if I click on it, it does not do anything..... Just when I thought Tactrix Driver went well......pooooof, this happens.... I'm gonna look in to the Inovate site and see if they have it online. I wish I knew computers better......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05AWDGT Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you need USB to Serial cables, I found these on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220513490269&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Seems cheap enough.?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireB Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Maybe that's what I need to buy? I spent close to $40 on this one because it was the only one at Staples.... Maybe I should go return it tomorrow and get a cheap one.....and it might actually work. Thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeracer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The USB to Serial cable should have a driver CD. There are no drivers for that cable included with the Innovate software. Check Belkins website for any drivers. "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireB Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Ahh, thank you. Now I suspect that the Serial to USB might be the case. I went to the Belkin's website and they do not have any drivers unfortunately. They state this is Plug an Play so they don't require the Driver or something.... Personal opinion is BS but... I will return this and get the one with the Driver CD and see if that will work. Thank you Ridgeracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I downloaded any serial to usb driver online and it worked fine. Just google it and dl the pl-xx or whatever comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireB Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks, I did DL some generic ones but maybe the Belkin ones are a little stubborn? I can't say for sure but I am going to return this and get the one with the Driver CD. This way, I can eliminate 1 problem and see what I have to deal with if it still does not connect after this. I guess one by one diagnostic is the only way to tackle this! Thank you for your comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you still have the cable, I can send you the one I used which definitely works with win7 as well as the LC-1. I think a serial to usb cable is pretty universal so it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbrjason Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I replied to your PM, but here is the link for the driver that I am using. I've tried this on several installs of xp, vista and win7 and have had 0 issues. http://www.prolific.com.tw/support/files//IO%20Cable/PL-2303/Drivers%20-%20Generic/Windows/allinone/PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not work on the Belkin but it worked on other Serial to USB connector that Spec B brought in today for me. It turned out it really was the "Serial to USB Connector" issue. The WBO2 and Rom Raider was in sync after we simply swapped the connector. Hard to believe something like this could be the problem but....it was! All running good! Thank you all for helping me out!
