Hey Jess. I think I may have figured it out. If not, I'll ping you. Don't burn time on it otherwise. Thanks!! On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 4:24 PM, Jess Askey <jess@askey.org> wrote:

Has anyone succeeded at using a USB->Serial adapter with their Data IO 29b?
I'm using a Prolific USB to serial adapter because the Lenovo X200s laptop I earmarked for bench use doesn't have a native serial port (not available on the docking station either).
I initially was using Windows 7 x86_64 but that required running Promlink under dosbox which was generating frame errors on the DosBox console and on the 29b display. Switching to 32bit Windows 7, I can run the patched version (standard version gives me Error 11) and it appears to open COM1 which is mapped onto the USB but I get a Frame Err 41 on the 29b and Promlink software cannot connect at 9600,N,8,1.
Unfortunately, I can't get any serial port sniffing tools such as Sysinternals Portmon or AccessPort to work, both fail with "handle is invalid" error which I'm guessing is a driver issue.
thanks!
