Staples 18762 Upgrade To Window

Having a laptop capible of 64 bit I decided to upgrade to Window 7 64 bit.

Staples 18762 Install Of Windows

After a fresh install of Windows 7, I began the process of installing drivers for the hardware I had.

It wasnt until I came to my trusty Belkin USB to Serial (RS232) converter, aka PDA adapter that I encountered a problem.

Heres the details from their knowledge base page (cant link it due to thier website design).

We do however have a similar adapter which is compatible with Vista 64 bit, you can use part F5U257 (USB-to-Serial Adapter).

Staples 18762 Update The Driver

It was down to Belkin not wanting to spend the time or money to update the driver.

In most cases, it would simply be a recompilation of the existing driver.

There was lots of webpagesforum posts about how people failed.

Lots of posts indicating its not supported, even an official microsoft page indicating its not supported under Microsoft Windows 7.

I had previously found a website where someone had pulled the adaptor apart to determine if the chipset was an FTDI chipset.

Sadly it wasnt it was instead a Philips P87C52X2BA microcontroller seemed to be used.

Hence I did a lot of searching for that particular chip in google, all with no luck.

Eventually I thought hmm, lets just see if we can find another USB232 converter that used a Philips chip.

This device used the P87C52 80C51 8-bit microcontroller and PDIUSBD12 made by NXP Semiconductors founded by Philips.

On the MCT website, on their driver page they had drivers for their USBSerial convertor and they support Visa, Windows 7, 32bit 64bit.

So I downloaded the driver U232-P9 Driver.( Click Here for a Local Mirror incase MCT remove it).

After a quick reboot I plugged in my Belking F5U409 adaptor and it was detected A quick check.

It worked.

It was then that I discovered that Belkin dont even write their own drivers but use Magic Control Technologies drivers (You can find this by right clicking on the u2sxp.sys file that Belkin installs to C:Program Files(x86)BelkinF5U409Driveru2sxp.sys and clicking the details tab).

So not only are they not updating the drivers, they didnt write them in the first place.

Now I can use the GPS and motorcycle tuner I have that need a serial port.

Thank you.

So I downloaded the driver U232-P9 Driver it Works Now i can hook-up my Celestron Advanced GT telescope to My Starry night PRO PLUS 6.23 Software on my iMac intel-based Running Winows 7 on BootCamp.

Spent quite a few hours searching on the net for a solution before I found your article.
