Home / Other I-Appliances / Virgin Webplayer Webplayer Serial Port USB to Serial port works.

Webplayer Serial Port (modified 0 times) hod1 Profile Just a note to anyone interested in adding a normal serial port to your Webplayer. The USB to Serial port converters do work on the Webplayers. The one I bought came with drivers on a floppy. I copied the floppy to another computer and transfered the files via my network, then when windows detected the new hardware I pointed it to the files on the hard drive. I am running with the WIN98 lite image. 02-28-2002 09:44:41

RE:Webplayer Serial Port (modified 0 times) hwhack Profile What is your network connection? If USB Ethernet, what make/model of adapter do you use? Thanks! 02-28-2002 11:27:20

RE:Webplayer Serial Port (modified 2 times) simba Profile To add my 2cents: I use a Netgear EA101 USB network adapter which works fine on Webplayer. Using Widows98SE on a harddrive. I picked the EA101 up for $20 including shipping on eBay. 03-03-2002 09:13:00

RE:Webplayer Serial Port (modified 0 times) joemac Profile I picked up the chips free from maxim and hacked in a standard serial port. Works fine. Search some of the old threads for info on doing this. 03-04-2002 11:33:33

RE:Webplayer Serial Port (modified 0 times) Dag2000 Profile | Email I search for quite a while but could find nothing conclusive on adding serial ports. Could you share some of your experience, joemac? 03-05-2002 12:13:27
