- Works flawlessly under Kubuntu Linux
I purchased the adapter to connect my older GPS receiver with my Linux desktop.When I connected the adapter to my desktop, Linux immediately recognized it and assigned it a serial port device number.It also works well in Vista after installing the included driver.No fuss, no trouble.

- Does NOT work with Vista
This product did not come with the device drivers to enable my Garmin to connect with a PC Vista computer.I am unsure whether this is due to the major scratches on the disc that came with it (I tried it on an XP computer as well) or what.I tried to find something online but everything relevant is in Chinese.A COMPLETE waste of money.Be careful...this company makes it sound like it will work with basically any device, but that was NOT my experience.
Rating: - Does not work well in industry
The CablesToGo USB to Serial adapter did not work for me.I tryed using it in an industrial setting to connect a Vista machine to RS Linx and other industrial software.I love their instructions - see if the adapter shows up as properly installed in the windows device manager (which it does).If it doesn't work, the problem is with your software.Right.
Don't waste your time or money on this product.There is a reason there are 54 used ones for sale for a couple of bucks on Amazons ... Read More
Rating: - Works great
I run a couple of devices off of this cable as needed.Each works flawlessly. It may take a little bit more computer savvy then the normal plug and play, just to make sure that the computer is searching for the device on the right com port (took me about ten minutes of frustration to figure out that the device had seated on com11 - switched it to com1 and all well)!!
Also - for those who don't read installation manuals (myself included) - it helps to run the install disk first... :)

Rating: - Great COM1 option for laptop with USB only
I have a laptop with USB but I needed a COM1 port to communicate with my GPS.
This product did exactly what I needed.It came with a CD with the necessary drivers and instructions that made the whole process quite easy.
If you need a COM1 port on a computer that only has USB, this is the product for you.
