[QUOTE="compufunk, post: 650449, member: 288741"] I've recently used a noname USB to serial adapter to flash a a new image to a box. I had no problems, but I've read some people have trouble with them. I couldnt find drivers for Vista, but it worked fine on XP. Yes, a null modem cable is required. Serial RS232 is of no use to you. A null modem cable should be easy to identify. It has female connectors at each end. A serial RS232 cable has male at one end and female at the other. _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem Set the attached images, the first one is a null modem cable, the second has a male connector at one end and is a regular serial RS232.
