The other non-standard part of the Z3801A is that it comes setup for RS422
rather than RS232. So I'd check with a scope during power up before doing
anything more complicated.
There are jumpers inside so it's easy to switch to RS-232. But it might work
most of the time without that if you get the wiring right and are lucky, and
any particular USB gismo might not be lucky enough.
