Will this product work with Windows 8? FTDI has Windows 8 drivers for some of their products but I don't know what FTDI part number this product has inside.

Don't use Windows 8, so don't know. I suspect it will. FTDI does update their drivers and Win8 has been out a while.

I am using three of these with Windows 8 and have no problems. I plug them in and they install themselves. I then go to the device manager to see which com port they have installed themselves under.

Sorry I can't tell. I don't have a Windows 8 computer available to test. But based on the experience that the FTDI chipset always worked for me with all previous Windows systems I worked with woud lead me to the assumption, that it will work with Windows 8 as well.

It should work with windows 8 provided you have the necessary software. I believe this is an oem sale so software is not included. That can make it very pricey.

Not an easy answer...depends on whether or not the cable uses a genuine FTDI chip or a not so genuine chip. If it uses a genuine chip, then you can use the driver that Windows installs. If it is not a genuine FTDI chip, then go to miklor.com and search for an older version of the driver.

I have not personally tested it out on Windows 8 since I do not have a machine with it, but from what I read it should work fine. I know it works on Windows 7 x64 and Linux Mint 13 x64.

I honestly don't know if it works with Windows 8, but it is installed as a pen driver. When you run the installation CD it installs all the drivers in your PC. It should be treated as a pen driver by any OS.

Unfortunately I have no idea as to windows 8, however I do know it works on windows 7. I don't recall if it comes with an install CD for drivers so I would suggest checking the manufacturers website for compatibility with windows 8. I also know that it does not work on Linux. Hope that helps, Bob.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

I don't know because I am using it with Windows XP. I would guess that it would work with Windows 8 provided you have the correct drivers.

I bought 2 of them and they both use ftdi drivers. They work with my astronomical equipment when others fail. I can't vouch for all them but my 2 are fine.

I have Windows 7 installed, so I don't know if it will work with windows 8. Sorry.

Yes it does. Note: windows 7 will find the drivers for it. Windows 8 requires going into Device manager and updating driver. Also here is a link http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=369

The default driver in w8 will work just as in w7 but Microsoft suggests still downloading the specific driver but as of right now there is no such driver yet. In short yes.

Yes it works with Windows 8. I used it on a Dell XPS 12 with Windows 8 and it worked exactly as advertised.
