Hi folks,
I have the 30b, the cable from Gene, and a USB-Serial adapter that I have had for years and claims to have the Prolific chipset. I have updated the drivers accordingly. I am trying to flash under XP with MySamBA.
On my XP setup, Device Manager tells me the USB-Serial adapter is mapped to COM3. I pick that out in MySamBA, find the calc.bin file, and press Send File. The thing hangs for a few minutes and gives a little dialog box with an Unable to Connect error.
I am assuming I have the dreaded Prolific issue and really need to get the other type of adapter (FTDA or something like that?)
I guess my question is whether anyone has got this to work with a Prolific adapter. If there is any way to make this cable work, I would love to know. If not, I would like some direction as to the kind of USB-Serial adapter that people who have flashed over USB under XP have used successfully.
Many thanks,
Les
