Works with Vista and RS Linx [Posted on 2008-05-13]
Finally an adapter that works. USB to serial adapters sometimes work, and sometimes they don't. This one works. I use it for industrial communications between PLC's and a Windows Vista machine. Installed the software and it worked first time. Used with Rockwell Software RS Linx version 2.53. It also works well with other applications like Rice Lake Scales and the Datataker DL800. I'll be buying a couple more.
I also purchased a Cablestogo adapter (the blue one sold here on Amazon). It did not work with Vista or XP trying to connect to industrial equipment. The old adage is true - you get what you pay for.
Adapter rocks! [Posted on 2008-05-18]
I used this adapter with a serial Blood Glucose meter. My computer only had USB ports. The software that came with it installed without a hitch and I have VISTA Ultimate on my PC. The software that came with the blood glucose meter was able to connect with the serial adapter and then with the USB port to access the data in the meter. It all went without any difficulties. I would really recommend this product!
It just plain works! [Posted on 2008-05-20]
I've used various Keyspan usb adapters for several years and I must say they just work. It works great with all of my computers, even my macbook pro works great with it.
BASIC stamp 2.0 [Posted on 2008-05-27]
It should be noted that this product is one of the only products that will allow one to program a Parallax BASIC stamp micro-processor from a Mac. So buy it if you have a BASIC stamp and a mac!

Very well supported by drivers [Posted on 2008-06-13]
I ordered this item because it said it supported OSX, and I have an old tablet (a Wacom Artz II 12") that I wanted to use with Table Magic (open source tablet drivers for old Wacom tablets on OSX). I had a different brand/model of adapter for my older GPS, and that worked in a very limited way in Windows, but I could not get that older device to work with this tablet on Windows, Linux, OR OSX.
With this device, I was able to get the tablet working with all three!
Highly recommended.
