I bought one of those from E-Bay over a year ago. I couldn't get it to work
either. Not sure if there IS a source for a working USB-CIV cable. I ended
up
using a USB-Serial adapter cable on the 478. Clunky and heavy in the laptop
bag, but it works.
If you find a working USB-CIV cable, put the word out. I am sure we are not
the
only ones.

Stew,
A little more detail would help.
Is the cable a USB to CI-V converter, or is it a USB 2 Serial cable to an
existing CI-V converter? If the later, did you get a USB to serial RS-232 or
perhaps its a USB to Serial TTL?
Did you set the port baud rate in Ham Radio Deluxe to match the radio CI-V
rate?
Be sure the Com port number matches the port assigned by the OS under the
device manager.

BUYER BEWARE!
I found out the hard way. There are two kinds of USB to Serial adapter
cables available.
One cable has a Serial (RS-232) output and the other has a Serial (TTL)
output.
You need the one with the RS-232 output to use with a standard CI-V serial
converter. Some radios have the CI-V built in and will work direct with the
RS-232 output.
The flip side is the USB adapter cable with Serial TTL output. It has TTL
logic and the signal is inverted compared to the RS-232.
The good news is that both varieties are available for under $10. They
normally come with a 12in cable and a DB-9 connector. I am using one of the
RS-232 varieties on my FT-920 (Built in converter) and another one on my
homebrewed CI-V adapter for my IC-735. I paid $8.95 each plus shipping from:
http://www.buyextras.com/setousbco.html
They included a CD with the drivers on it. I ordered the 12 in cable, They
also come with a 6ft cable for a few dollars more.
Moral is to read the specs closely before you order.

Save your money and build one.
Best source of information is found at
http://www.plicht.de/ekki/civ/index.html
There are links to designs for the converters as well as a wealth of
other CI-V information.

I looked at the referenced site and did not find any link for "USB to
serial" or "USB to CI-V" converters. It appeared that the references were
all "Serial to CI-V" converters and not USB. If I missed the link, please
tell me where it is.
I already have a Homebrewed CI-V converter. The point of discussion is USB
converters.

Looking for a defective IC-745 to repair one here which has a bad logic
board. I don't care as to how bad the rest of the parts radio is providing
that the logic board is working. Shipping would be to zip 83826 in Idaho.
