DRIVER FOR THE PSION CABLE TO CONNECT THE PSION'S RS232 PORT TO A USB PORT

DRIVER FOR THE PSION USB CABLE (RS232 to USB)

Driver for the Psion cable to connect the RS232 port to USB at netogram.com

When I saw a USB to RS232 port cable up for grabs at a website I immediatly saw the great potential of such a device for my Psion 3MX and Psion 5MX machines! Actually, it had been ages since I connected my beloved machines to a PC. The cable arrived rather quickly and the package included a small CD with drivers. The only problem was that the drivers didn't work with my PC. The machine couldn't/wouldn't recognize the RS232 (com) port. So I did what everybody does (I presume) and went on a hectic search on the net. I downloaded tens of drivers but nothing seemed to work. Finally I stumbled upon a driver (I don't recall where I found it, probably a forum) which I tried... and it worked right away! So as a service to my fellow Psion adepts, I am putting this driver available for direct download on this page. Do bear in mind that you should not download/try/install this driver if the one that came with your USB-RS232 cable works! You should only consider to download and try this driver if yours doesn't work. If you don't know what a driver is or how a driver works, and/or you don't own a rs232 to USB cable or a Psion, ask professional advice. You must accept that we are not responsible if something goes wrong when you try to install the driver that we made available here at our website. Use completely and solely at your own risk. PS: the driver is for Windows 98 and Windows XP. Download the driver.
