Just checking, I have passed on to a friend a seriel to 3.5mm jack lead with the converter lead for use with USB, are the installation instructions the same as the AXE027?
Thanks Richard

Thanks for the advice Hippy, my friend seems to have got the drivers installed I am not sure what he did as he lives some distance from me but I understand things are working correctly. I am right that with the adaptor fitted to the serial lead he does not require the serial drivers since he does not have a serial port on his PC.If this is a USB010 ( USB-to-9-way ) plus AXE026 ( 9-way-to-jack) the installation is similar but the drivers and how the cable identifies itself are different.

Windows needs drivers for all USB devices but will often be able to install a driver for itself without user intervention.Thanks for the advice Hippy, my friend seems to have got the drivers installed ...
