Model 36, System 85, and System 87 Drivers
The Model 36, System 85, and System 87 all use the same USB driver. If you are running Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and have an internet connection you can just plug your 36, 85, or 87 into a USB port and allow Windows to find the newest driver.
Computers With No Serial Port
Many new computers don’t have a serial port to interface with the Model 83, and Model 84. The solution is to use a USB to serial adapter. Not all USB to serial adapters work; however, we have tested two widely available adapters. The Iogear GUC232A adapter works with a Model 83 on Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Pro, and Windows 7 systems. The Gearmo® GM-FTDI-A36 adapter is recommended for Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems. Note that you still must use the regular serial cable to connect between the adapter and an Oehler system.

Before the adapter can be used, its driver software must be installed. Follow the instructions included with the adapter. Once installed you need to determine which Com port the adapter is set to. If it is installed to Com port 5 or higher, you must reset it to Com port 1, 2, 3, or 4. The instructions included with the adapters provide detailed instructions for setting the Com port.
