Serial-USB cable driver for Windows 7?

[N8RV]

My new laptop has Windows 7 and it can't find a driver when I plug it in. Any clue where I find a driver for it so that I can connect to my Dynon units?

I couldn't find anything in the archives about Windows 7.

The cable uses a Prolific PL-2303 chipset. Not sure why Win7 doesn't auto-detect this as it's a popular chip, but you do have to manually download it.

Driver is here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/support/...ne\PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518.zip

Thanks! Apparently that's what I needed. At least it's now in the archives for the next person with Windows 7 ...

For anyone else that finds this thread - the files at http://downloads.dynonavionics.com have been updated. There are now usable drivers for all recent versions of windows.
