I still run XP Pro. I used the disk that came with the card to install the drivers.

Happy to be able to program myself, not so that speech recognition with
Smart V’s is not what I’d expect!!!

Have you looked into Audiogramdirect?

I’m not sure what you mean by looked into it?
That is how I set the parameters to program my aids.
I began self programing using the audiogram that my audiologist made.
The one I did with audiogramdirect is much more suited to my needs.

Comment and question.

First the comment … as someone who uses USB-to-Serial adapters everyday, I would recommend that you find one with the FTDI chipset inside. It should be advertised by the cable maker as this is the gold standard for these types of converters.

Question … does the USB version of the Hi-Pro install itself as something special or is it just a virtual serial port?

Sorry, the picture was lost.

Awesome thanks. I have an old serial Hi-Pro (maybe 5 yrs old) and a good FTDI USB-to-Serial adapter so I should be good to go. I’m rebuilding my system because my old laptop crashed and I don’t really want to buy a new Hi-Pro.
