I was Just wondering when Microsoft was going to make a driver for USB to
9-pin male serial port it is the one made by RadioShack

Thank You

Microsoft does not make drivers, the hardware manufacturer does.

I have a translucent blue one. I do not know if Igot it from RadioShack.
When I connected to my computer (running Vista), I was directed to
the maker's web page where I found the Vista compatible drivers.
The drivers that came with the device were meant for XP and would
not install under Vista.

I doubt that RadioShack makes them. It only sells them under its brand
name.

There are no drivers for the cable.. the drivers will be with whatever
device is attached to the 9 pin end of the cable..
