Mac & PC Link Applications
USB - RS-232 Adapters for Computers with no serial portWe no longer stock these adapters as they are available on the web. Click here to search on Google. For example Amazon are advertising them for only £2.99 inc VAT and postage (25/08/2011).Eazylink needs a USB to full handshake UART Device. If you get a USB to basic UART Device, it will not work. Getting the right adapter and how do you find out?Now that Windows 7 and 64 bit computers are around, please make sure that you purchase a quality product, one that supports a full handshake UART and has the correct drivers for your Operating System.First, you need to find out which chip set the adapter is using. Let's say it uses an FTDI FT230X. Look this up on Google and then on their website - http://www.ftdichip.com/FT-X.htm we find that this is a USB to basic UART. This is not what you need. If on the other hand it was a FT231X - a USB to full handshake UART, this device would be suitable.
The only potential problem is how to connect the Z88 to the laptop - there doesn't appear to be a serial connector in sight!, but there are lots of USB ports. I have checked with several shops here and it is possible to get a serial to USB adaptor. So...could I ask if you have come across this problem already? Will a serial to USB adaptor work? I'm inclined to try it and see but would appreciate your advice. Reply - USB Serial Adapter should work, but I have not received any first-hand reports. As long as Windows thinks it is a serial port you should be OK. You will have to try it and see. Let me know the result. Just a quick email to let you know the Z88 to PC transfer works via the serial to USB adaptor. The trick is to ensure you know which coms port the PC decides to allocate! We are very pleased we can continue to use our Z88! Thanks for your help. ![]() PL-2303 Software and Drivers Click here Drivers supplied on the disk (zipped) 2M! Click here Eazylink
I have got to say it's really easy to use and very fast. It's the full file transfer and backup solution I have been looking for but never found. Everything else is really inferior. A few clicks and your files are transferred between the PC and Z88 in a whiz. Best tool I ever brought for the Z88. I really do wonder how I lived without! Best Regards,
Eazylink is a file transfer program that can send files to and from the Z88 and a PC that is running Windows NT, 2000, 98, ME, XP or Windows 7 Pro with real serial ports (although there may have been an issue with the USB Adapter being used beforehand). It is fast, easy to use and copes with multiple files. Key points

The Z88 to PC Lead consists of the moulded 9 way plug that fits
into the Z88 correctly and has a 25 way female connector for
the PC's COM port (which was the standard connector when the
Z88 came out). Most computers now have a 9 way plug for the COM.1
serial port. An adapter lead (9-25 way) is also suplied. This is used on the PC end. If the cable you have has a 25 way male connector - it is the serial printer cable, you cannot use it for the PC, |
If you really want to do it yourself make sure
- or better still just buy this correct cable.

USB Serial
Adapter should work, as long as Windows sees it as a serial port you should
be OK.
The trick is to look up which com
port the PC has allocated it to and let the program you are using know which com port it has used! Available on the web. Click here to search on Google. |
