I use both WXP and linux and it works fine on both.<BR /><BR />Did you make sure you got the right drivers for your adaptor? It can happen that Windows does not recognise the hardware, so you need to get and install them.<BR /><BR />Good luck!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Sep 2004 21:07:55 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/need-a-serial-port/m-p/161487#M124593 ixorrai 2004-09-15T21:07:55Z Re: Need a Serial Port!! https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/need-a-serial-port/m-p/161488#M124594 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>@Kee-Lo<BR />Docking Station maybe the only option now.<BR /><BR />@Ixorrai<BR />Yep, installed the drivers that came with it (ser2pl.sys), it was a prolific usb 2 serial adaptor... all 3 of them infact.<BR /><BR />Just got a different type of one now...
