[Elecraft] USB-to-Serial cable - Follow-up

[Jim - KE8G]

Hi All,
First off, thanks to all that replied!  As I said in the first reply, I guess I was having one of the old timers memory problems and forgot about looking on the Elecraft web site for the needed information!

BUT, something very curious while connecting the cables.  The first cable I connected went from a Toshiba laptop, running Win8.  This is the setup where I had a problem with the Internet search not returning the needed driver, hence the request for help here and manual search.

This morning, I hooked up the second cable to my home built PC, running Win7, and it took all of 10 seconds to go out on the Internet and find/install the needed driver.

Very curious with the difference between Win8 and Win7 Internet search results!

Thanks again,
