Belkin F5U109 USB to serial adapter

[res1oz9a]

I have a Uniden BCD396T and 1 serial port that a UPS is hooked too...



I have a USB to Serial adapter that I would like to use in WIndows 7 x64 but Belkin does not have hany drivers for x64 anything....

Anyone get this working in vista/windows 7 x64 yet? If not what cable do you use and where do I get one?

Most Belkin cables I've seen use the PL2303 chip set. You can download those drivers directly from Prolific at http://www.prolific.com.tw/support/...ne/PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10626.zip

If your cable does not use that chip set, the above driver won't work.

My uniden Serial adapter wouldnt work with vista at all. I installed windows 7 64x and it worked right away, didnt have to install drivers or anything it found it on its own. I think it is the PL2303 chip set also

Well it is not the PL2303 chipset in it.. (bummer) it has this in it (i took it apart to see which chipset)...

Guess its time to shop for a new converter or disconnect the UPS

According to Belkin : Support : F5U109/F5U409 USB PDA Adapter - Drivers it will work in Vista 64, but no mention of W7.

The device does work in windows 7 (32bit & 64 bit drivers, just not with belkin's drivers.

The only good USB to Serial adapter I have found is from U.S. Converters. I have been using the PRO version with Windows 7 64-bit for several months now without any problems. Highly recommended.
