Hi,

This is an update to the note below.

Dave Nadler reports that the USB adapter in the link below is said to work
with the SN10. I have ordered one to test. I'll update my web site after I
test it.

Also, I found the post below from Walt Rogers with links to USB adapters
that he says work with his SN10.

FYI, recently I upgraded my notebook to Windows 7 64bit. I've found a good
reliable USB serial convertor that works "out of the box" on Windows 7 even
the 64 bit version.

USB to Serial Adapter - Mini PRO - $27.50

Another one almost identical but with a cable

USB to Serial Adapter - Professional - $34.95

http://www.usconverters.com/index.ph...ducts _id=325

This convertor has a very well written device driver that is maintained and
kept up to date. My older Belkin convertor stopped working when I changed to
Windows 7 64bit. Also, it wouldn't work on my Volkslogger, so I had to use a
PCMIA serial card with WinXP (the PCMIA card doesn't work anymore in Windows
7 64bit).

These USB serial convertors from usconverters.com work just fine on
everything I need (Volkslogger and SN10B software/waypoints loading). With
the Volkslogger, download used to be extremely slow. Now, I've found a
driver
setting on the Mini PRO which speeds up the download! It was a "Latency
Timer" (msec) changed from 16 to 1.

So... if you're having problems with USB to RS232 convertors, give these a
try.

Hi,

I can't get the Keyspan USA-19HS USB to serial adapter to work with an SN10.
It connects, but waypoint transfer attempts failed.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit with the appropriate drivers from Keyspan.

The Keyspan adapter works great for me with all other soaring instruments -
just not the SN10. The same was true for me with Windows Vista 32-bit.

In the past I had used and recommended the Belkin F5U409 USB adapter for use
with ILEC SN10 units. It worked great for me with Windows Vista 32-bit.
But Belkin doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit).

Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting a Windows 7 64-bit machine
to an SN10?

Of course, the ILEC SN10 USB adapter makes this all unnecessary, but I get
this question from customers often and want to be able to recommend a
solution for them that costs less than the very nice, but expensive ILEC
option.

After several days trying to get Windows 7 64 bit to connect to an SN10
via a USB to Serial adapter (Dynex), here is what finally worked great.

Posting this so folks don't have to go through discovery.
