Well I have bought my self a new laptop - I need one of the USB to serial adapters, I know these can be troblesome at the best of times ( Personal experience of this happening ). So anyone any experience if these ones are OK from Maplin ?

Kind regards

i do them cheaper than that and i know the ones i have in the shop work

I used an IOGEAR adapter with my Emerald ECU. I then had the firmware on the ECU upgraded to the latest spec. Since then I've had to revert to an old steam driven laptop I found because the comms are flaky with the adapter. What adapter are you selling in your shop??

Cheers

I have been using one bought from Maplins with megatune for a few years now.

I had problems initially until I changed the timing parameters described on the MS site.

It's been fine since.

Cheers,

Thanks Chaps,

In light of the information received I contact Rob of VEMS Uk and gone with his sugestion as it is known to work with both my current fimware and the one I need to 'upgrade to '

To be honest it was the same price delivered as the maplin one just wont be able to 'Tune ' tonight

Thanks for all your help
