Hi All

all of the above USB TO SERIAL and rs232 pc cards work very well but please ensure your money isnt wasted on cheap serial to usb Cable as nearly all the cheap ones dont work

Part of the Problem with your device manager can be down to Toshiba and Hewllet Packard where the USB chipset had issues in reconizing some hardware including AMBrc decoders and using a serial to usb cable will resolve this issue also would recomend using the network Cable supplield with the AMBrc if using the AMBrc3

from a software point of view BBK ECCO is free and usb compatable and it also has a link to AMBUSB on its website

Hope this helps
