Ive done some testing with this simple converter but so far it wont work with the Pectel Monitor.
Could it be that the driver only work 98/2000/XP and wont function properly in a command shell (Dos)? Or should it work anyway since the shell runs in XP?
Im currently digging out my old Pentium 90 laptop (It actually boots win 95 faster than xp does on my high spec workstation

)

to test that the serial cable actually works.
