[Dx4win] Radio control with no serial port question

[Rick Murphy]

If the USB serial adapter is showing as an unknown device, then you'll need
to install the device driver for that USB serial adapter. If you know who
manufactured it, you might be able to find a driver to make it work using a
web search.

No, you don't need a device driver for the radio, you need one for your USB
serial thingamabob.

The fact that you're using Windows Vista is probably why that USB adapter
isn't automatically recognized: you're using paleolithic software.
