================================
Known Limitation:
--------------------------Windows XP Professional x64 Edition HyperTerminal Issue
Symptom:
---------------The data transfer rate of PL-2303 is very slow when using the new HyperTerminal
(5.2.3790.1830) program in Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version
2003 Service Pack 1.
Cause & Workaround:
--------------------------------The PL-2303 uses software control to simulate Serial COM port, so the driver nee
ds to send more data in each BulkOut command. However, it seems that the newer v
ersion of HyperTerminal (v5.2.3790.1830) in Windows XP Professional x64-Edition
is using other method in sending data byte by byte that limits the PL-2303 drive
r to achieve the transmit rate set by users.
When using an older version of HyperTerminal (v5.1.2600.0) from Windows XP SP2 (
32-bit Version 2002), the data transfer is normal. Prolific is trying to feeback
this issue to Microsoft if the HyperTerminal program in Windows x64-bit Edition
could be updated.
Prolific advices not to use the HyperTerminal program (v5.2.3790.1830) in Window
s x64-Edition until this limitation is resolved. Prolific recommends to use an o
lder version of HyperTerminal or use other software programs.
