PV with Vista on a serial port less PC? (English Forum)

Hello after a long time! Glad to see die-hard PV fans still around.

Has anybody been able to connect to the PV from a PC without a serial port and running Vista?

I saw an earlier post about a USB/Serial adapter - which the author said didn't have a Vista driver.

Maybe you could run XP or 98 through Virtual PC to make the applications work?

It might work with a more recent version of Virtual PC or with VMware Server; I can't tell.

However, USB to RS-232 adapters with Vista compatibility should be available by now (they are available here).

You may download Sun xVM VirtualBox (http://www.sun.com/software/products/virtualbox/get.jsp) which is a free desktop virtualization program and may support them... I have tried it with Linux, and it works so I don't think Vista should be a problem. You can always make another partition and install Windows XP...

Managed to get an USB-Serial adapter. Model("Enter") seems to be a clone of the BAFO BF-810, since it works with same drivers.

Works on both XP and Vista. PC-Sync, PVM, Enterprise Harmony all work.:-)

Audacia's PV Comm doesn't. :-(

Yet to try Pocket sheet sync.

But enough for me to get back to the PV Scene!

Now to re-learn all the basics. Had forgotten the "14 add-ins" limitation...

Hey!

» Audacia's PV Comm doesn't. :-(

any specifics? What exactly doesn't work? Do you see an error message?
