Keyspan Acquired by TrippLite
... as I can tell they DO NOT have a Windows 7 driver for the KeySpan ...
Keyspan seemed optimistic when they were acquired in May, 2008 by TrippLite:
"We at Keyspan have created a strong brand name associated with high quality products," said Mike Ridenhour, Keyspan President. "We're pleased that Tripp Lite will continue providing Keyspan's customers with the reliable products they expect, world-class service and support and unmatched channel loyalty. The combination of the Tripp Lite and Keyspan brands under the umbrella of Tripp Lite will provide increased efficiency by streamlining production, distribution and shipping."
I have no idea if the Keyspan development team is still working on their old product line or not.

In any event, Keyspan didn't manufacture the USB interface chip. The chip manufacturers website would be a better place to find the driver.

You think contacting the chip manufacturer is going to alter Keyspan's product development strategy?
I think you may be over-thinking this. Sure, it would be nice for consumers to dictate to the chip manufacturers what they sell to Keyspan.
But that ain't gonna happen in this world.

Keyspan's product development stratergy is not the issue. The issue is that a fellow amateur needs the correct device drivers. Device drivers are usually written by the chip manufacturer for USB interface chips.

Well, some of us need to enter our respective country's lotteries, win big bucks, and develop some stuff just for this market of hams ...

Since I am the one being quoted below, I feel compelled to reply to the pseudo-flames. I don't give a rip about KeySpan's or Tripp-Lite's market strategy; only whether they are going to continue support of their legacy product. If you all wish to have a discussion about "market strategy", let's talk about Microsoft's. That will _really_ get some discussion going.
