Yes it could. I find that USB to RS232 adapters can be very fickle,
working with one application and not with another. I prefer FTDI
driver adapters over Prolific as well. Another problem can be that the
device claims to be Prolific, but is actually a cheap knock off that
sort of supports Prolific drivers.<br>
Can you connect other devices to the adapter?<br>
I have a weird problem with ECU6 when I hook up my computer to the
G11. It occasionally says that there is not a telescope connected.
Then I run ECU5, which sees the telescope. I stop ECU5 and return to
ECU6 and everything works properly. I have not been able to figure out
why this happens, I just know that as a fix, it works.<br>
