big-phil Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I got a usb to serial port cable. The laptop has 3 usb out puts and one "vb"?? looks like serial, but with more pins. Anyway, the home computer works great with its serial to serial connection. Is there a "driver" I need to download for the laptops's usb?? I've tried everything in megatune as far as changing the comm #'s I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linluv84 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Theres nothing wrong with that. During my initial setup, I had a 19" CRT monitor in the passenger seat and a mini-itx computer on the floorboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she saw that in my nasty shop, or the garage she lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
