USBCOM big problem

<< < (3/4) > >>

Hello Dan

I did light testing with this device:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Prolifc_PL2303_USB_2.0_to_COM

I don't have any serial device anymore to test it out. My only test (if the machine does not have already a serial port) is doing a "mode COM1" if the USB-To-Serial device is disconnected I get "SYS0021: The drive is not ready.", if the devices is plugged I get something in response.

Regards

Dan Eicher:
Thanks, that's helpful.

I did a MODE COM6 - and it came up with serial parameters, which was helpful.

I'm using a FT232R, which the docs state has not been verified, but looking through usbser.txt, it looks to be the only in-production device supported.

Hopefully, soon I can get hooked to another PC's RS232 port and test.

Martin Iturbide:
Hello Dan

It's good that you got a response from the device. Please let me know the HardwareID and any remarks once you test it, so I can include it on the wiki.

Regards

Dan Eicher:
Will update when I have a resolution.

I put in a ticket with AN regarding FT232. They confirmed it isn't supported, but they would look in to adding support at a future date.

Dan Eicher:
  I purchased https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753HBT12   ($10).
  Seems to work AOS (ZOC) <> Win11 (Tera Term).

  These are available in quantity new from Amazon and utilize the PL2303.
