StarTech PLATE9M 9 Pin Serial Male to 10 Pin Motherboard Header Slot Plate Adapter

Pros: 1) Sits nicely in place of expansion slot cover.
2) Ribbon cable colored red on one side easily identifies Pin 1.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Put serial port adapter in place of any expansion slot cover, screw down and plug cable into motherboard (make sure red side of ribbon cable is lined up with pin 1 on the motherboard's serial port header) and away you go! Doesn't get any easier!

Pros: No complaints here. Exactly what you need for retro devices in a modern PC.

Cons: Would have been nice if it came with a Serial cable, too, but oh well.

Other Thoughts: Glad they stopped building these into motherboards so quickly, we need that space for our sound and network ports, but I wish more MoBo manufacturers would include these with the boards.
