Which serial cable for VISTA

Post by cowdoc »

Could someone please tell me which Radio Shack serial cable is best for connecting the Predator (U7186) to my PC?

I think the power adapter is Part # 273-1776. My local Radio Shack does not have that part. Is there another?

Thanks!

Any USB to serial adapter and a 12v 1 amp power supply.

There are Vista drivers for cables that use the Prolific PL-2303 chipset. Whichever cable you buy, make sure that it has Vista compatible drivers. The DS Downloader help file has more information in it, including links to some cables.
