Just the ticket
- Pros: Worked out of the box to connect a serial port device to a newer computer that only had USB ports. Still working fine after a year.
- Cons: none
Worked well
- Pros: Installed software first, no problems, plugged cable in and it was found and software applied just fine, hooked it up to my old weather station and everything worked. All installs should work this smoothly.
- Cons: Wish it was less expensive, but when something works just like it is supposed to it eases the pain :)
- Other Thoughts: Perfect device to run older hardware when you get a new computer with no serial port. I used Device Manager and assigned the device the COM port that my old weather station had to have and cycled the computer and the COM port was retained just as advertised. I'm glad someone makes this thing!
Worked well
- Pros: Software installed easily under Vista SP1, plugged adapter in and software was found and installed painlessly. Went to Device Manager and changed the COM port to the one that my weather station wanted (it could only use COM 1 thru 4) and hooked it up and BINGO! everything worked! Wish every install was this easy.
- Cons: Wish I didn't have to spend so much.
- Other Thoughts: If you have purchased a new computer with no serial port, this is the adapter to get to make your older hardware work with your new computer. I rebooted and the adapter did retain the COM 1 port setting I had assigned it in Device Manager.
