Hi

I recently bought a Y-105 USB2SERIAL cable for my tablet pc (wce
4.2.net, no com only usb) to connect it to gps system with RS232
connection to pc. While connecting the cable into tablet i got "Enter
the name of the driver for this USB device:" dialog.

I don't know actually what should I enter here... No driver on cd for
WCE as well. I also searched for some drivers in WINDOWS directory but
none of them made sense to me.

Any suggestions/help appreciated.

Very few Windows CE devices have USB host, which is required to use
peripherals. They have USB client so the device can be used as a
peripheral with a computer. Unless you can find a specification that
says otherwise, I think you should assume you're out of luck.
