This driver works great thank you very much.īelkin F5U409 USB TO RS-232 USB PDA Adapter compatible with Windows 7 64bit? I had a staples USB to Serial, which worked with XP.

I recently got a new laptop and it has no serial port. You are an Uber Tech my friend! This does indeed fix my F5U109 thus extending the life of my old Wacom Intuos tablet. Now I can use the GPS and motorcycle tuner I have that need a serial port. It works for the two F5U109 adapters I have as well. I’ve been searching for a solution to this since buying my Windows 7 laptop a year ago and stumbled across your solution.

So not only are they not updating the drivers, they didn’t write them in the first place!įinally, if your a Mac OSX 10 user you might also want to check the Magic Control Technologies driver page as drivers exist for you as well – shame on you Belkin. It was then that I discovered that Belkin don’t even write their own drivers but use Magic Control Technologies drivers! (You can find this by right clicking on the u2sxp.sys file that Belkin installs to C:\Program Files(x86)\Belkin\F5U409\Driver\u2sxp.sys and clicking the details tab). So to Belkin who wanted to force me to buy yet another product – support your products!Īs a bit of an ironic twist, I later began cleaning up the original installed Belkin driver (I had tried the Vista 32bit version with no success). After a quick reboot I plugged in my Belking F5U409 adaptor and it was detected! A quick check. I then crossed my fingers and installed it.

So I downloaded the driver U232-P9 Driver.( Click Here for a Local Mirror incase MCT remove it) On the MCT website, on their driver page they had drivers for their USB/Serial convertor and they support Visa, Windows 7, 32bit & 64bit. It turns out that MCT stands for Magic Control Technologies. I hence spent quite a while working out who MCT were. This device used the “ P87C52 – 80C51 8-bit microcontroller and PDIUSBD12 made by NXP Semiconductors founded by Philips.” It was perfect the chip matched. It was then that I found the MCT U232-P9 DB-9 Serial Adapter High Speed 230K USB SERIAL RS-232. Magic Control Technologies U232-P9 Adaptor Eventually I thought hmm, lets just see if we can find another USB232 converter that used a Philips chip. Hence I did a lot of searching for that particular chip in google, all with no luck. Sadly it wasn’t it was instead a Philips P87C52X2BA microcontroller seemed to be used. I had previously found a website where someone had pulled the adaptor apart to determine if the chipset was an FTDI chipset. But sadly nothing about the Belkin F5U409 adaptor. Then there were a few posts indicating to try various different drivers, most seem to relate to either the Prolific or FTDI chip/chipset which apparently exists on other models of the Belkin adaptors (F5U109?) and with other USB/RS232 converters and hence works with some other drivers. Lots of posts indicating it’s not supported, even an official microsoft page indicating it’s not supported under Microsoft Windows 7. There was lots of webpages/forum posts about how people failed. Hence I began searching to see if anyone had got the device working. In most cases, it would simply be a recompilation of the existing driver.

It was down to Belkin not wanting to spend the time or money to update the driver.

What a rip off? Not only doesn’t Belkin support their old hardware they try and get me to buy their new hardware!īeing a computer system administrator and programmer by trade, I knew there would be no physical reason the device would not work under a 64 bit operating system. We do however have a similar adapter which is compatible with Vista 64 bit, you can use part F5U257 (USB-to-Serial Adapter).”

It is compatible with Vista 32 bit computers. No, this product is not compatible with vista 64 bit. “ Is the F5U409 USB PDA Adapter compatible with vista 64 bit? Here’s the details from their knowledge base page (can’t link it due to thier website design): It wasn’t until I came to my trusty Belkin USB to Serial (RS232) converter, aka PDA adapter that I encountered a problem.Īfter visiting Belkin‘s website and looking up the driver page for the convertor, I discovered that Belkin didn’t support both Vista 64bit and Windows 7 64 bit.

After a fresh install of Windows 7, I began the process of installing drivers for the hardware I had. Having a laptop capible of 64 bit I decided to upgrade to Window 7 64 bit. (Note: Mac Users may want to skip to the bottom)Īfter a number of years my old Windows Vista 32 bit installation was a little worse for ware.
