"Just works" No problems........2007-05-13

Only reason I don't give 5 stars...
Could have one of those spring loaded retractable cables. And WHY does everyone package stuff in those plastic bubble package things? It is such a hassle to get the product out of the package, and then it just becomes trash. Why not just use a little cellophane bag with a cardboard tab on top? That would be more environmentally friendly, lighter, and easier, and cheaper.

I work as a SAN and storage administrator. Much of the equipement I work on requires the use of a serial port to set up and maintain. Newer laptop computers, unfortunately, aren't equipped with serial ports. So, I bought the USB to RS232 converter to meet my needs. This product works great. It's easy to setup and works just like a built-in serial port. The converter comes with a driver disk. Although Windows Vista drivers were not specifically included on the disk, the Win32/XP drivers worked fine with Vista.

This worked perfectly for connecting my Garmin eTrex Vista to update firmware and to reload the marine database, and save/load area maps (XP Pro).

The DB9M dongle is well built and does it's single task well. The added extender cable is also a nice bonus. This device allows for a male RS-232 (COM*) cable to be attached to a USB port. While the adapter is a female connector, it oddly has screw rods as if it were a male. This in no way affects the connectivity, but simply prevents some devices from being attached with their own screw rods (unless they are very long).

The included drivers are on a 80mm miniCD, so most slot-loading drives will not be able to use them. Using a tray-loading drive and copying the needed materials was no problem for me, though. Drivers for most any version of Windows as well as OSX are included. I was able to connect my Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS unit via Serial cable to my Intel iMac without any trouble using this device.

I use this product with Tiki Navigator navigation s/w to connect my garmin gps 76 map to my laptop. This product was recommended by Tiki Navigator to use because it was previously reviewed as performing perfectly, which it does. It installs easily and with the blue led allows you to see if power is still connected. Highly recommended!
