Hi guys,

Hopefully somebody can help. I bought a Chinese DR ZX. + Usb Interface cable, however the cd was damaged in transit.
Managed to install WinDR that tool king posted on 4shared and can open program fine. My only problem is I need the drivers for the usb interface.
I plug in the interface and windows won't install any default drivers, WinDR won't pick up the interface either only a COM port that is used by something else.

I hope somebody can give me some sort of help or point me in the right direction.

Much appreciated.

After my original Hitachi diagnostic device died I ended up with a palm unit. It recently died and I couldn't find anyone who could work on it so I took a big chance ( I think it cost 30 some dollars) and bought one off e-bay from China. I had my computer guy down load it onto a Panasonic toughbooks laptop, I told him it was from China so he checked it first and it did have a virus on it, so he ran it through some program he has that eliminated the virus and it works great. I am not using the USB cable that came with it since I already have the serial port cables but I have used it now in the last 2 weeks on a - 3 and 5, Zaxis and Zaxis-3 plus I plugged into a Deere 450D and it works on that. So maybe I just got lucky and found the right seller to buy from.

Mine uses the Palm simulator on the laptop and it works on the -3 so it should work on the -2 also. Same basic system.

I'm a little weary of buying a cable and software from eBay, I found one on eBay from the US buts it's $1000 Canadian for it. Is it just a matter of luck finding one for sale?

Dr zx is made to run on an old palm pilot tungsten E2. I can forward you the instructions I found in an old email I got from Deere tech support. I may be able to help you without you needing the diag tool.
