DOS USB-RS232 Converter

Hi All,

Maybe a stupid question, but I'm trying as far as possible to consolidate my VM's for all legacy products. I currently have a TSX-17 that I need to connect to, but after getting the software working, it dawned on me I would need a DOS version of the USB->RS-232 driver for the converter I'm using.

Getting a driver to bind the USB ports in DOS shouldn't be too much of a struggle, but does anyone know of converters that supply DOS drivers for legacy support?

Which software are you using. PL707?

PL7-2 Ver 5.1. Got it from a Schneider Agent today.

What I've had work fine is map the Host's USB converter com port (Say,COM8) to COM1 in VMWare itself. The converter is invisible to DOS this way, all it sees is a hardware port COM1 and VMWare takes care of the driver stuff.
