Question 1

Is this Windows 7 compatible?

Accepted Answer

Hi,
I got this item in order to perform remote access to a government mainframe system.  I used it on an XP system, with absolutely no issues.  It plugged into a USB 2.0 port, supported by a standard driver (from the vendor).  It worked perfectly for the five months of my contract, and now sits detached from the system, as I do not expect to use it later.  My son, NY National Guard, uses the same product on his laptop without any issues,
