[Elecraft] K3 and Windows Vista ?

[Dick Dievendorff]

The difficulty is obtaining device drivers for Windows Vista 64, not the
more common Windows Vista 32.  Drivers are available from Microsoft Update
for the Prolific chipset USB to Serial adapters (such as the KUSB) for
Windows Vista 32.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 and Windows Vista ?

Hi all,I have been using my old PC with Winndows XP ever since I got my K3
last April without any trouble downloading F/W into the K3 using the
Prolific USB converter.
Now having got a new HP (64bit)  with Vista installed I am stuck as Vista
does not support the Prolific or vice versa.
(HP does not sell any plug in USB/serial cards whih would have been a
natural solution)
I have asked Elecraft for support and I trust they are working on it. Gary
replied promptly with a possible solution. However it turned out that his
recommended converter Keyspan usa-19hs including a serial cable cannot be
found in SM and Amazon.com as an example does not export those precious
little gems outside NA.

Question to other EU K3 owners using a PC with Vista installed: How have you
solved this matter?

Many thanks in advance
Lennart
