i will give a little more detail-- i am up loading some new bin files into a cable box via a serial cable, i am also using a usb adapter for the serial cable since none of my computers have a 9 pin serial port. the program i am using to upload the bins with only has the ooptions of com1, com2, com3, and com4. so when i plug the cable into the usb port how do i make it corespond to the correct com setting?
