V-Series Vinyl Cutter -- Drivers Index
Inventory of USB/COM and USB printer drivers from the local cncu.co.za mirror under T:\U\C\V-Series-Vinyl-Cutting-Plotter\, mapped to live https://cncu.co.za/... URLs.
English prose only. No pricing. Driver binaries / EXEs / ZIPs themselves are not copied into this KB (pointer + URL only).
There is no controller firmware tree on this product. Firmware/ and Firmwares/ both return HTTP 404. This file is a drivers index, not a firmware index.
What these drivers are
V-Series is the older AM.CO.ZA vinyl-cutter line. USB identity changed by year (chip family), so the matching year package must be used. Wrong-family USB/COM install can leave the cutter invisible -- only when support directs. Support WhatsApp +27 60 600 7000.
Identify the machine first: year sticker on the power inlet, or https://am.co.za/plotter/model (HTTP 200). If unsure, the local note says install both USB drivers then plug in and watch https://am.co.za/plotter/101/install-driver (not mirrored this pass).
Prefer the newest matching era (newer wins inside the same family, not across families):
