Is that on a PC? I have one running with the latest drivers from their site.
It works fine for small snippets of code, but always times out, when trying
to download larger segments or firmware.

What exact driver version do you have. What exact system are you running on?

I would love to get this working from my Sony C1X picture book...

Hi,

I only have one serial port on my PC and it is currently hooked up to an
external modem (PC slots are precious to me).  So, I was planning on
using an USB->Serial converter.  Can anyone recommend a brand that has
been proven to work with the IR tower on a PC.  Thanks

Entrega's hubs with serial ports or the U1S9 work great IF you download • the
latest drivers
(just got mine working this morning!) from Entrega.  Barbara Nostrand
inidcates that the
Pitsco catalogue has an Entrega U1S9 converter (USB to serial 9 pin) for
$59, presumably
it has been tested with RoboLab and comes with drivers that work, if you
don't want
to be bothered with downloading the latest from Entrega.

-Peter
