RS232 cable for laptop

Hey guys,

Im just about to try to update the super box and I was wondering if I bought the right cable, I got an RS232 which will fit into laptop and the super box. My laptop is on Vista. Im a total beginer on these things any help would be great, Im gonna give it a try and see how I get on?

 

good luck with vista your laptop will probly end up going out the window lol

 

Havent started it yet, took out the cable and its not RS232, will it work at all on my laptop?

I have to order a cable they seem to be out of stock in loads of stores at the moment so it will be a couple of days before I try it!!

 

You need an RS232 Null Modem Cable, read the eurovox flashing guide linked at the bottom of my post.

 

Great tip buying cable on e-bay, just bought it for around 6euro plus postage I paid 45 euro in PC World for the other one which I have to return. Hopefully it wont take too long to get here I read through the guide to updating firmware, nice and simply explained for someone like me.
Thanks a mill

 

anyone using vista to flash firmware on boxes need to use vista-prolific-chip-driver-for-serial-adapters,
