I'm running Win98SE and COM1 is set up with the USB adapter. I go to connect with TMO and it connects to the ECU and when I hit start, no numbers are being displayed. Also on the bottom hand right of the window is displays, 'no link' but the disconnect button is there on the upper left. Anyone used a Serial to USB adapter with a datalogger before? Any suggestions?

The problem "might" be related with the win98 USB Driver. I since then have upgraded my PC and running XP on it. Running win2000 on the Laptop. Maybe someone else will have more info about it... Hope this helps. Ghislain. Rouge!!!

For some reason, some laptops using a serial to usb adapter do not work. I am not positive if it the brand of adapter or the brand of laptop. Does your laptop have an available serial port?" So looks like using the Serial to USB adapter is sketchy. I'll have to track down a PCMCIA Serial buscard.

AFAIK, the datalogger just won't work with USB. If you can get it to work, post the solution. 92 TSi AWD 2.4L 12.3@113 "When strokers attack..."

I'll shoot you an email when you can come down, or maybe we'll just hit the track if a test n' tune before then.
