Serial to USB adapter?

[chrissj]

I have the Suunto USB to serial converter, I've downloaded the lastest drivers from Suunto's site and yet when I tried to 'install new hardware' it cannot find it. Any ideas?

I use a cheap no-brand prolific chipset based converter and it worked fine with my suunto.

hi all
i had similar problems with a usb to serial convertor.
in the end i spoke to suunto . the advice i was given, if i remember right. it was ages ago, was when starting dont run the test and maybe dont select a type of computer just try and transfer. this worked for me for ages. after wiping my laptop though i lost the drivers for the serial convertor and couldnt be bothered to search the net for them, so in the end i bought a non suunto usb one off ebay. if anyone wants my convertor and can be bothered to find and download the drivers for it, its theirs for the price of postage.

Thanks for your replies - I re-installed it and it worked fine. No probs now.
