Reviews

Pros: – Works with all OS Systems.
- Overall quality build is Good.
- Comes with USB Extention
- Comes with CD with the Drivers for Win XP and Win Vista (Win Vista Drivers works with WIndows 7)

Cons: – USB Extention with low quality build.
- CD must come with something to protect it, that was not, it was only the CD itself.

============

Pros: – Just works within Ubuntu; no drivers needed.
- Driver disk includes drivers for linux/mac/win98, 2000, XP, vista, CE
- USB extention cable included

Cons: – Extention cable does not look like it’s a heavy quality cable, it’s kinda thin.
- RS232 screws on the connector are hard to turn as the casing of the adapter is really next to the screws
- driver cd contains drivers for other devices, so you have to look for the directory called “(USB-SERIEL2303)”
