Can any Pronto, TS-1000, 2000, Pro, Neo - whatever, be programmed with a laptop using a usb to serial converter. My company bought me a new laptop that has no serial ports on it. So I went and got a converter to solve that problem, it works for most things. The two biggies are the Pronto's and the RTI Theater Touch. Has anyone come across this, and figured out a work around? I've tried everything I knew. Any help on this would be great.

I use a Keyspan USB to serial converter and have had no problems

they should all work if setup correctly

P.s. you need usb to serial and cannot use USB to PDA adapter even though they look the same

I use the Belkin USB to Serial Adapter. But since I have converted to XP, I'm outta-luck. It just won't recongnize that there is a port connect when I use ProntoEdit. And when I use Tonto, it just gets an error about 23% through, then tells me it is an invalid ccf. Go Figure!

I was in the same situation. My boss got a PCMCIA serial adaptor that I thought didn't work well. I then got the Belking USB adaptor. After taking it to a computer specialist, we used the PCMCIA and haven't had any problems with ANY programming software.

PS They say on their website that it will not work on XP.

I've got a fix in 1.40 (not yet released) which might address this. Please send me an email if you're interesting in testing it.
