There was lots of webpages/forum posts about how people failed. Hence I began searching to see if anyone had got the device working. In most cases, it would simply be a recompilation of the existing driver. It was down to Belkin not wanting to spend the time or money to update the driver. What a rip off? Not only doesn’t Belkin support their old hardware they try and get me to buy their new hardware!īeing a computer system administrator and programmer by trade, I knew there would be no physical reason the device would not work under a 64 bit operating system. We do however have a similar adapter which is compatible with Vista 64 bit, you can use part F5U257 (USB-to-Serial Adapter).” It is compatible with Vista 32 bit computers. No, this product is not compatible with vista 64 bit. “ Is the F5U409 USB PDA Adapter compatible with vista 64 bit? Here’s the details from their knowledge base page (can’t link it due to thier website design):
It wasn’t until I came to my trusty Belkin USB to Serial (RS232) converter, aka PDA adapter that I encountered a problem.Īfter visiting Belkin‘s website and looking up the driver page for the convertor, I discovered that Belkin didn’t support both Vista 64bit and Windows 7 64 bit. After a fresh install of Windows 7, I began the process of installing drivers for the hardware I had. Having a laptop capible of 64 bit I decided to upgrade to Window 7 64 bit. (Note: Mac Users may want to skip to the bottom)Īfter a number of years my old Windows Vista 32 bit installation was a little worse for ware.
