The driver has a vendor/product list builtin, and that device doesn't match anything in that list. You should - add this to sys/dev/usb/usbdevs - Regen the header files with 'make -f Makefile.usbdevs TOOL_AWK=awk' - add the device to the table in sys/dev/usb/uplcom.c >And since I=92ve never done this before can someone tell me what I need = >to do on the test system to direct console output over the serial and = >what need to do on the capture system to get the results? That depends a bit on the system. For a traditional PC booting with BIOS you'd use 'fdisk -c /usr/mdec/mbr_com0' to install a bootblock for serial console. Greetings,
