I like the look of your software.  But, is it compatible with my Belkin USB bridge cable?
The ver3.3 trial does not seem to 'see' my Belkin cable

thanks,
Bob

Unfortunately the FastLynx software requires the use of bridge cable that uses the same chipset as the FastLynx bridge cable.  There are a few out there, but i don't remember what they are. 

You can purchase the FastLynx software with the USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 bridge cables included.  Or you can buy them seperately.

We wrote our own driver for the bridge cables, so to be compatible the cable would  need to use the same (prolific) chipset.  Many other prolific cables use the PClinq software.

There are other options you can use without the Fastlynx bridge cable like a network transfer.  I have a bridge cable, but I only use networking (TCP/IP) at home.  The manual explains pretty clearly how to set it up over an existing network, or there's a tech blog post about using a crossover cable.
