Right ive got one of the older CDI's with the 9pin serial connection and not the USB one. Problem is i dont have a laptop with a 9 pin connection, only USB. Ive got one of those usb to serial adaptors but cant find the driver disk and its not branded so cant find a driver to download.

My question is is it possible to connect to the CDI's using the adaptor or shall i bin the idea and find a laptop with a serial connection. I know from experience the early PC3's with serial connection were a nightmare to get working with a USB laptop, possible but i pain in the arse and tempremental too.

I'll email you...

Top man mark, installed straight away

Que my next question.....err ive fucked up my CDI

Haha! Oops. Just the map or is it dead dead?

btw..

I don't trust USB -> Serial though, most of them don't give out enough voltage, so even the ones that connect can result in bad data transmission.

I have an old dell laptop that has a proper serial port on it that I keep around the garage, its useful for internet radio and programming ignitions / other things with serial ports :D

Sorry neo i was just kidding, although if you see another ignitech thread by me that will most likely be the content im not what you would call technically minded.

Ah glad you are sorted, mine worked just fine with a USB-serial

haha yes.. busy day at work today and trying to read / reply to a million things..

will have to stop skim reading things.
