1431633 2017-02-06 02:52:00 Anyone know where to find the driver for this device? Trying to get it going for a vinyl cutter for a friend, but am having no luck getting the drivers for this thing.

I can find drivers for the similar model XH8290 but they don't work.

Computer is a Sony Vaio Y Series VPCYB16KG with Windows 10 Pro x64. If 64-bit is the problem, I might be able to grab a 32-bit system to try on.

USB\VID_0B39&PID_0421&REV_0200
USB\VID_0B39&PID_0421

1431637 2017-02-06 03:57:00 Looks like it's also called a US101 USB to RS-232 adapter Speedy Gonzales (78)
1431638 2017-02-06 04:00:00 What if you go to its entry in device manager / driver tab / update driver. Does it find one? Speedy Gonzales (78)

It either doesn't, or seems to get stuck on "Searching online for software" which it's currently doing.

1431640 2017-02-06 04:33:00 It may use an FTDI chip. Get the top driver. (www.catalog.update.microsoft.com)

Extract it. Right mouse on the ftdibus.inf file and the ftdiport.inf file / install

See what happens

1431641 2017-02-06 08:29:00 It's an FTDI chip but it seems DSE or such gave it a custom VID/PID.

You should be able to install the standard FTDI driver from www.ftdichip.com and when Windows complains that the driver doesn't match the hardware, force it to install.
