Somewhat of an issue
- Pros: Excellent quality, nice feature (signal LED)
- Cons: Screw connectors are female. Most serial port connectors are female, and forcing female to female connection results in inadequate pin connection and stability. Had to open digital equipment box (warranty expired anyway) having serial port and found no room to insert screws from inside to form male screw conx. Wouldn't have done any good, anyway, since IOGear molded connector female screws do not turn, and I certainly would not want to open the box every time I wanted to disconnect. Settled for removing the box's screws and left IOGEAR RS232 plug hanging. It is tight now, but don't know how long this will last.
- Other Thoughts: Unless you buy RS232 connectors a lot, you probably would not think to check if the screws were male/female and whether they turned. It is enough to know that the DB9 needed is male. Whoever thought one would find a male connector with female screws?
Functions as described
- Pros: Works perfectly. It interfaces with the MSD ignition in my friends drag car perfectly. Downloads and uploads the files fast and hookup was easy. Software was available for the newer windows OS on the weblite and no problems with download and install.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: I just wish the cable was about 36"long. The cable is only 14" long and I have to place the laptop on the carbon fiber body to connect to the MSD ignition. I have to use a mat under it to prevent scratching the finish. I will try a serial extension cable.
Works fine
- Pros: Works as designed. No issues on Windows 7 64.
- Cons: As others pointed out, you may need to download the drivers, but this only took a minute.
