Bought a USB to serial adapter. Tried following this guide:

Still says drivers not found.
Any ideas?

Make sure you are pointed at the right com port. I have to use a USB to serial adaptor for work, and if I don’t go to device manager and find out which port was randomly selected by my computer. It won’t work.

Yeah I have a Prolific 2303 USB serial adapter I use for the ubiquitous RS232 console port access and it’s never on the same COM port twice. Always have to check.

I switched it to port 1. Might just have to trade this one in for the 20% discount. I get $60 off for something I paid $5 for.

I can get a part number off of the one I have been using with no problem for 2 years. Rslogix and Allen Bradley can be finicky.

Are you trying to make it work with Wintab?
Good luck
, by which I mean,
sorry, you’re screwed
, because once upon a time this one guy won a software patent suit, and following after that, you can no longer buy a Wintab driver anywhere except his, and his doesn’t actually work. And I’m not guessing that or reporting second- or third-hand; I myself paid $75 US cash for his driver, which is not transferable to a second machine, and I have never been able to get it to work at all. When I think about all the beer I could have bought with that $75, I want to break down and cry.
If they had had the same patent/copyright laws in 1910, some bozo’d have buttoned up the market for automobiles, and you’d be commuting via street cars even to this day.

You won’t like the price of mine. Sold by Allen Bradley p# 9300USBS, about 187$. Luckily I didn't have to by it.
