Spacemouse plus serial - which serial to usb converter?

[elmar123]

Hi all,

I lost my old serial to usb converter wich was working fine with my loved spacemouse plus serial. The serial to usb converter i recently bought does not work properly. The spacemouse is making her start peep sounds but than comes the message that 3dx connection cant find a spacemouse connected! My system is win xp sp2.

Does anyone know a fair priced serial to usb converter which works fine with the spacemouse and is also easy online be ordered?

Thanks in advantage,
Elmar

3Dconnexion does not recommend serial-to-USB converters (as per this Knowledge Base article).

The beeping noises is probably the device initialising, then resetting because of a lack of adequate power supply. After that, the cycle is repeated.
