God this whole thing is such a half-baked piece of crap. Many peopel
don't get this is just a USB to serial adapter Cambridge has stuffed
into the C302. Done a poor job doing that, and then done a poor job
with explaining the feature, poor documentation and support. You are
probalby better off using one of several commerciallty available USB
to serial adopters. I like this onehttp://www.amazon.com/Keyspan-Speed-Serial-Adapter-USA-19HS/dp/B0000V...
$30 well spent and it comes with pretty good drivers, actual support,
etc.

Ive asked before for people to let me know the chipset the host sees
in this adapter. Nobody replied. If you are a technical computer
person then you may want to try the drivers athttp://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
Follow the (technical) discussion there to the right drivers for the
chipset. If you are not technical computer person I would seriously
suggest getting the Keyspan device above. It will help in future if
you say what OS and version you running when asking for things like
help with drivers.

Darryl, I will let you know as soon as I get it to work. I am waiting
for a Fedex package to be delivered tomorrow with the USB 302A. I was
not blowing you off. I had to send my 302A back to Jeff because the
302A quit working.I tried to get the serial adapter working using your
advice and some how I deleted the firmware on the 302. I am not
blaming you but somehow in all my limited knowledge of trying to get
the basic 302 to work with my laptop, I deleted the firmware according
to Jeff. He promises that the CD and the cord will be included to make
it work with any laptop. I remain cautiously optimistic. I will report
everything you requested when I get it to work. Thanks for your
understanding. Doug
