I'm trying to connect a devices to HS true serial connection but don't have any serial connections left on my PC. I did find a USB to serial cable in my box of junk. I connected the PC to the devices with this cable. Wen i go to device manager on my PC under other devices I see "USB-Serial Controller". When i click on it it says drivers for this device are not installed. Were can a get a driver for this?

Right click the device in device manager, go into properties and click details. Look in the Hardware ID section and post your PID and VID (or search on google for them) which will hopefully show which chipset you should use. Prolific 2303, CH340, CP2102, FT232 are some of the most common chipsets out there but there are hundreds with differing levels of support. Some Prolific releases no longer play nicely with Win 10.

Also I just realized that I have to available serial connectors on my global cache GC-100. Did a search but didn't find any info on how to use them. This would be another option if i can get to work.

Found a driver and installed on my laptop and now when I plug in the cable I see it in the COM list as COM 1. HS is installed on another computer with the same OS as my laptop (windows 7). When I install the driver on the other PC I get the below error. When I click OK it says driver installed successfully but it still doesn't appear in the com list. Only in the other devices list and when I click on properties it says driver not installed. Why would it work on 1 machine and not another when they both have the same OS.

I recently connected a Prolific USB to Serial device I've had for years (connected to a TI103) to my Windows 10 machine and it didn't load a driver. A little search lead to this driver:

That was referenced in this post:

Worked like a champ for me. Does require a reboot of the machine but now my TI103 that hasn't been connected in years is up and running in HS3. Had to dig it out as the Ocelot isn't supported.
