Has anyone had any experience of using USB to serial port adapters with QPC2 under Vista? I have a Belkin adapter that gives me a COM port on my Sony VAIO laptop (which has no hardware COM ports). Using Q-emuLator I can access the "virtual" COM port as SER2 with no problem at all, but under QPC2 whatever settings I try I just get garbage coming across the connection.
If it's an unsupported configuration, fair enough - but is there a setting I'm missing? Just to recap: SER2 is mapped to COM2 in the QPC2 settings, COM2 is actually a virtual COM port under Vista, provided by a Belkin USB to Serial adapter. I can open port SER2 in QPC2, but any attempt to send data across it results in data that looks very similar to the wrong parity setting, except it isn't. Under Q-emuLator, no problem. I knew there'd be problems as soon as they switched on that damned Large Hadron Collider again! ;) Thanks for reading, Adrian _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
