If you have already installed a USB-to-Serial converter and the Florida Probe freezes in the calibration routine, you will need to download this replacement driver file: ser2pl.sys
This file must be placed into the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder for Windows XP, ME or into the C:\WINNT\system32\drivers folder for Windows NT, 2000. Windows will ask if you want to replace an already existing file with that same name in the destination folder. It will show that the file you are replacing is smaller than the file downloaded here. Click 'yes' and restart your computer.

for anyone who needs this info and drivers for a usb to serial converter here are the drivers for both XP and VISTA. make sure you use the correct file for your computer O/S

this is a driver file for a [usb to serial convertor]
this is to enable you to use a [ laptop without a 9 pin com port] . to use a null modem cable to programme your receiver. it says plug and play on these devices, they dont and you need a driver, so if your device came without a driver disc use this it works 100%.
[1] open and run the driver file with the device unplugged
[2] it might ask you to uninstall old drivers [say yes]
[3] re-start your pc after installed.
[4] connect your usb to serial device.

Flashed my eurovox yesterday, using the guides the only problem was getting my laptop to use the USB serial and nul modem cable.

As this was a cheep cable from flebay it came with no drivers, after searching for about two hours and trying six or seven I foung the one i needed. thought I would share this as the drivers i found on here did not work for me.

The usb port has the numbers HL-340.The driver can be downloaded from-

http://www.winchiphead.com/download/CH341/CH341SER.ZIP.

I hope saves someone some time.
