Hello,
Just checking in what USB to serial converters you would recommend for connecting to Jazz. I have 2 Jazz processors here and I am unable to communicate with either of them. They are older models and only support serial via MJ20-PRG. I am using Unitronics serial cable p/n: MJ10-22-CS25.
I get no errors in Device Manager when I plug in the USB-to-serial converter. It grabs Port 3. But if I set U90 ladder to Port 3, the communication still times out.
I have several USB-to-Seri

And then there is the issue of counterfeit chips, which adds another aspect of intermittent / non-functionality for both manufacturers.
Many moons ago I tried several USB converters an
