Sure enough the device is listed as Atarimax SIO2PC in device manager. I removed the USB serial port and USB serial converter and their drivers via device manager, and installed the signed Atarimax drivers. So as I say I then found with some help that I had an AtariMax SIO2PC board, so downloaded the 64bit drivers from the AtariMax forum. Also the RespeQt activity log never does anything when I power up the Atari. It either just goers to the Basic ready prompt or, if enabled SpartaDOS-X, but I get 138 errors. It appears that the SIO2PC board and Windows are handshaking and i have mounted ATRs and XEXs. In RespeQt's options under tools I also ensured it was set to COM3. Under the USB serial port once installed I made sure it was pointing to Com3 port. I repeated the process to manually load the drivers from the WHQL certified ones mentioned earlier. The USB serial port then appeared when I plugged and unplugged the USB cable, again with an alert indicating missing drivers. I then went into the settings for the USB serial converter under device manager and enabled the "load VCP" option. So after more reading up I managed to download the drivers separately from the FTDI website (CDM v2.12.36.4 WHQL Certified) and following the guide hereon page 9 of the guide I installed the USB serial converter. Plugging in the USB initially shows up a new SIO2PC interface in device manager but with an alert, (which indicates driver are absent) It looked like they were confirmed as installed, but nothing ever showed up after in device manager (ie no USB serial converter or USB serial port), even after reboots and unpluggung/plugging in the USB cable, etc, etc). I read it needed the FTDI Virtual com port drivers herewhich I downloaded and ran the installation executable for. So for the past few days without being able to identify the board I've been trying to hook it up via the USB cable from my Windows 10 laptop's USB port to the USB-B port on the card. (I've since found out it is an Atarimax SIO2PC board. Up until this evening I didn't know what model it was. I have an 800XL with U1MB and a built in SIO2PC board. I have a lot more hassle getting these steps right, but for summaty purposes it went like this: I've looked extensively on AA for past threads, on the net, and on Atarimax forums. Ok so I've spent a good few days on this and far as I am aware have exhausted all avenues.
