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! tony _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
There are loads and loads of fake Prolific adapters. Does it work with their latest driver? Even if it does, it might be counterfeit. I know FTDI adapters are generally expensive, but I've had success with this cheaper one — it appears to be legit, or did when I last ordered some a while back. http://www.amazon.com/Chipset-Speed-Serial-RS-232-Converter/dp/B005S72HHO David

Hi David. Thanks for the response. Yes I'm using the latest Prolific driver. The usb-serial adapter works fine @115200 talking to a ARM Cortex board. If I hook up a logic analyzer and setup the async serial profile I can see a transmission of 0x55, 0x18, 0x55, 0x18 (presumably from ProLink) but I see nothing being received. This is connecting the green (tx) wire on the USB adapter to pin 3 (rx) on the 29b and pin 2 (tx) on the 29b to the white (rx) wire on the USB adapter. Also, if I power up the 29b with the ground wire from the USB adapter connected to pin 7 (signal ground) I get a Frame Error 41 on the 29b display during self-test. No signal ground, it passes self test and drops into remote mode. This seems a bit suspect, I'll try a different 29b, I have a couple others. Suggestions welcomed.

I have mine working with the prolific and XP (different) plus Dosbox... will see what i can do to help here later this evening when im home, if someone else doesnt get you going first.

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:
