It has been "worked around" by doing adapters, external or internal. It infuriates me that these are dropped these days as old hat, yet so much equipment is still around that needs them. Nothing beats a dedicated 9 pin gizmo on the motherboard. I use Shentek, but there are other good names around as well. Sometimes I can be caught out not having them, and this is where genuine converters can be useful. But transferring anything using serial, I use the dedicated puters. If I am doing anything in adjusting one of the programs, I do it on the main office system. You can pick such things up very cheaply. Joe T loves Dell Latitude D830s for the same reason. They each have a number of programs that I still need occasionally, and the sole reason for having them is for connections that WORK. Depending on what I am talking to, some are very old indeed! One is a T4900CT Toshiba on DOS. No internet, nothing else! I have a large variety of older computers just for this purpose. It is not set up to do anything else other than communicate to plcs (& other devices) that only do serial. It has been invaluable at times, and I have checked that the link still works ok.įinally, the solution that will always work ….Get an older laptop that has a native serial port.

In the above topics I referenced a program that lets you remove all drivers before reloading anything. Also be aware of non-genuine chips around, these can play havoc through not working properly. Supposedly the main adapter manufacturers keep up to date on Microsoft changes, but I understand that it can be hard. I often find that an older version of a driver lifted out of another Windows version will work fine in W10. Have a look at these various posts and topics: As Flex says, there are many references to the various issues on the forum. I have had to hunt around many times to find a solution. I have no doubt this is one of those situations. Microsoft has the most annoying habit of breaking things that work in the serial department. So - anyone out there have any ideas on why the drivers suddenly won’t work on the Lenovo?Ĭould this be a Windows10 updating issue?

Then used same USB port with V1210 cable( USB to miniUSB).

No problems ! V130 program download was successful. Similar thing happened when tried to establish comms with V1210 using silicon driver.įinally I used the clients Dell laptop- ( Windows 10) downloaded visilogix 9.8.65 ( same version), installed driver for the prolific.

Tried install driver and also update driver to no avail. came up with the little yellow triangle and messages in device manager. No luck ! We ended up with errors on both the V130 and V1210. HOWEVER-Yesterday went to site with same laptop and same cables to download. I have successfully downloaded programs to 8 systems using laptop (Lenovo 510) running windows10 and visilogix 9.8.65. I’m working for OEM and we have both V1210 and V130 in each panel.
