Is it guaranteed to work with the BFB-297 Firmware? This will be my third and final attempt at getting a cable that actually works with Win 7

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

I use Chirp, and my computer runs on Linux. I use Linux because my experience with windoze of any flavor is always frustrating and seemingly designed to be that way. I had no problem with this cable, and after repairing the manufacturing defects, the cheaper cable worked fine also, but the plug had to be sliced open to solder one of the wires to the plug at the radio end, then glued back together.

Hi Let me clarify how this cable works. This USB cable is designed for use as a (Transfer Cable) only, which will allow you to transfer files and or system settings through Windows (Easy Transfer) app. from one PC to another PC. If your running a 64bit version of Win7 on one computer and want to move (mixed data)to another 64bit version of Win7 computer, then you should be fine. Note: if your trying to move the whole Win7 disc image (OS and all system files and apps, etc) to another machine, then you don't need this cable. What you do need is a program called Acronis (True Image) which is an imaging (cloning) software to create a disc image of your whole computer I.e. ( OS, Programs, settings, system files, etc.) with this created disc image you can then clone or re-image the same machine that the image was created from or use the disc image on another machine.

It's a cable. My understanding is there is no firmware in the cable itself.

Hi Trisha, I wish I knew for sure. Because I was dealing with XP to 7 and 7 to 7 I got the cable I did and it worked perfectly. The one thing I noticed is that it's not just a cable - there is some sort of "thingie" in the middle of it. If that is programmed specifically for 7 than the programming disc might not help. I did notice that the cables for sale were all specifically for 7 or 8 etc so that leads me to believe there's something specific about them - but that's just a guess on my part. Good luck - Marc

The win98 box will likely not have USB 3.0 and will be slow in transferring, but it should work quite OK

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

Sorry Rob, after buying the cable I had other issues and could not use it. Good luck!

Im running 1920x1200 at 60hz on the Generic PNP drivers running Win 7 64bit. Honestly I never even checked on what driver I was running until now. It works flawlesly. Has since the day Win7 came out and I installed it. Before actually when I was running Win7RC.

Adapter definitely works with Win 7. As far as the adapter....PCI Express x1.

While I don't have Win8 installed on any of my machines, I do have this drive running on a 64-bit version of Win7. There were no ASUS drivers that needed to install. I just plugged the drive into my 64-bit,Win7 machine and it worked as expected. My understanding of Win8 is that if the peripheral works under Win7, then it will work under Win8. I am still very pleased with the performance of this drive and would buy it again or consider an "upgraded" one from ASUS that supports Blu-ray. You do need 2 USB Ports on the same side of the machine, or at least within a few inches of each other. As a reminder, this is USB2 vs. USB3 drive. Hope this helps.

The drivers are native to Windows 7. You can check the compatibility of your MoBo here http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/97-aperture-m-case-accessory . When I installed the card reader it took quite a long time for windows to install each card reader. It installed each one as if it was a separate card reader. It took a long time...I had to be patient. I was unaccustomed to long wait times for driver installation and such because my system is normally quite fast. Now look at the pictures of the cabling for the card reader. The blue 19 pin female connector is USB 3.0 I believe. If you do not have one of these ports on your MoBo, I don't think you will want to use this card reader.

I was not able to get the software to recognized the cable with Windows 7 64. I created a VM with Windows 7 32 and was successful there.

I can confirm that this cable works with Windows 7 64-bit. I was doubtful it would work, considering the negative reviews concerning this issue, but was happy to find Windows found and self-installed the driver with no hassle.

I have no problem with mine using Win7 just plugin and let Windows download the driver.Have you tried different USB port? I suggest using USB 2.0 ports instead of 3.0. I Have the same problem with Windows 7 and found out I've installed too many USB devices to my system and there's a lot of drivers tied to my usb port that causing the issue using a different port works for me.

Yes it works for me. Do not use the MS drivers - Win7 installs its own. I use it in Battlefield 3 and other games with no issues.

I had problems with it on both win 7 and 8. Tur ns out the firmware in it is not that great. If you use a newer hdd it should work but older hdd do not work. The one I had a probkem with was a toshiba 80 gig.

I've Win 7 & 8 and this worked perfect with both laptops, no driver installation was required. I believe its required to plug in to USB3
