asked on

would a pc automatically detect a adaptor connection from serial to parallel ?

a laptop that is going to be used to link to an interactive whiteboard does not have a serial port thus the serial connection from the whiteboard has to be conected to a parallel adpator. Is there a port setting that needs configuring in windows xp in order to create the communicataion link.

Guys the company who supply the white board messed up as i did tell them that we had a XP laptop with no serial ports thus they are supplying a adaptor for free!
Good to hear...you might want to ask them about moving into the 21st century with their driver support.  Serial ports are a holdover from the 80's, it just makes no sense to develop a product at this point in time that relies on 20+ year old serial port technology.

Glad you found a solution!
