dreamup on vista

[yamar1]

hi to all, iv just got a new pc running vista, runs a hell of a lot faster than my old buddy did!, anyone had any joy flashing with dreamup using a usb serial adaptor with vista? as im gona have to get an adaptor as i dont want to open the pc yet to add a 9pin card as i will void the warranty.

you dont need to add a 9 pin card you just need a header plate with it on as all new motherboards come with a header pin for the backplate a simple plug in the ribon cable an enable in bios

and dreamup works a dream but use the latest version
