| 1281443 | 2012-06-13 20:13:00 | I bought a cheaper one on Trademe, and promptly lost it. It only came with support for up to XP, and by the time I tracked down Win7 drivers online I couldn't find the darn thing! |

| 1281444 | 2012-06-13 21:07:00 | Here (acronum.com) genuine ones that use the prolific chip, which is what is recommended for most instruments and stuff that need one of these cables | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1281445 | 2012-06-13 21:27:00 | I am using a Dick Smith one as per Slankydudl's link above and it works for me. Gary's link looks good and a lot cheaper I would go for that as your first choice. | CliveM (6007) | ||

| 1281447 | 2012-06-14 11:23:00 | www.dicksmith.co.nz I have a couple of the XH8290, but neither will work with Win 7 64 bit, even the CD that came with the adapter said it works with up to Win 2000. Wish I could get my XH8290 to co-operate and do as I tell them to do ! <grin> |

Wish I could get my XH8290 to co-operate and do as I tell them to do ! <grin> Did you go through device manager, to see if it could find a driver? Or windowsupdate? This guy found a driver for Win7 (reviews.dse.co.nz) If windowsupdate still doesnt work, install teamviewer, and I'll have a look sometime |
