USB<->RS232 converter cable recommendations.

Jun 16, 2004 9 Replies

Has anyone torture tested USBRS232 converter cables lately? The ones Dontronics sells with the FTDI chipset have been working great for us, but they raised the price through the roof.



We need one that supports DSR and DTR signals, works on all Windows OS's except NT & 95, handles 460,800 baud, and has good quantity 100 pricing.

Would have been nice if you mentioned this to us instead of going open forum on it Brian, but as you have, how can we raise the price through the roof when we supplied you for something like 2 years at the same price, and the price never went up? In fact, we bent over backwards to help you out with your last minute order changes.

An explanation would be nice instead of stumbling across your message like this. Seems like you have a very serious communication problem at Zworld.

Cheers Don...

Nah Jim, supplied wholesale in USD, and always has been, so there has been no variation in the wholesale price.

Don, If the price hasn't gone up, then there has indeed been a miscommunication. Maybe a rookie in purchasing saw an Aussie dollar amount on an invoice and panicked. I'll find out what's up and let you know. Apologies in advance if this was in error. -Brian

Thanks Brian, I'll await your findings before making any comments.

Now where did I put my knitting? :-)
