Hi Keith
I bought a serial to usb cable at one of the box stores like Best Buy. Is t=
here a chip in the plugs? I thought it was done in software. I do have a se=
rial 12 bit ADC board that I bought to measure my sensors positions. It has=
 done something like what you say. I am running XP. I also have no problem =
with Larry's board. I will have to remember the specifics but briefly, I ce=
rtain situations on booting when going to the ADC board program it says tha=
t the serial channel is not available. In my case it is 9. I then have to g=
o into the control panel etc. I will try to remember in more detail, and ge=
t back to you.

Regards
Barry

Has anyone else had this problem?=A0 I have a new USB-to-RS232 adapter from
Saelig.=A0 It works just fine with Larry's A/D board and Vista with one
exception.

If the system powers down or restarts, it will move to another COM port.
This is really annoying, and confusing for the guy I set it up for.=A0 I ca=

change his OS, so don't even go there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
