windows 11home, RJ45 cut and connected to female RS232, then to male RS232<> USB. I've checked wiring with the manual for US3000C so it should be ok.

Think that's the wrong way RX usb should go to TX battery and vice versa.

I spent a day on and off trying to get my original US2000 to respond to the activation code with my skookum 232 adaptor that I used to troubleshoot serial devices that aren't quite compliant.

Bought the £50 thing and it worked first time.

I work in EE. :D

I may have described it incorrectly. Pin 3 from RJ45 is TX and goes to female RS232 pin 2.

I had;

RJ45 pin 3 to serial pin 2 either (pink or red)
RJ45 pin6 to serial pin 3 either (red or pink)
RJ45 pin 8 to serial pin 5 (Yellow)

Have you got the correct driver for the prolific serial 27/10/2008

I'll switch them around and see if it helps. What do you mean by the driver?
