USB2.0-Ser! Driver (USB -> Serial port cable driver)
-
I just purchased a Serial Port (9 pin) to USB cable so I can plug my GPS into my laptop. It came with a disk with the drivers for XP does anyone know where I can find the drivers for Vista 64bit version? I think the cable is called an HL340? I checked on Google & Microsoft and I only found a referance to a Chinese driver which I looked at and the interface is in Chinese and of course unreadable to me. If anyone knows where do download a USB2.0-Ser! driver or some other method of connecting I am grateful. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the links. I have tried the 1st one and it fails to install with just a generic application message. As for the 2nd & 3rd I was not a member so I have to wait for the server to catch up after I signed up. I have found serveral sites with different versions of the driver including what is supposed to be the original Chinese site. That is the only one that comes close but since I cant read chinese I cant answer the setup Q's and install. Some of the sites say that after installing you have to reboot and press F8 during the boot process to disable the driver signature process since the driver is NOT signed. But most of those posts are from 2004-2007 and I would have thought that it would have benn approved by now, being 2010 5 years later!!! I am trying to connect to a GPS and most GPS's are serial port connections.

2 yrs back I also did something with Holux GPS & XP, I forgot that site which contains those drivers for serial-usb2.0, but I am sure, it was a chinese version also. I didn't spend much time to understand that, just clicked that wizard to finish the installation. I just suggests you, clickinhg those buttons in the wizard just complete the installation procedure, need not to understand much of that.

Well it turns out that I have teh wrong cable. The cable has a small chip in teh RS232 plug end... The cable came with a driver named HL340 for Windows XP... I found the seller (on ebay) and emailed them. It turns out that there is a seperate cable/chip for Vista 64bit for $23 EBay item title... USB SERIAL RS232 DB9 CABLE VISTA XP MAC LINUX Windows 7 [
