5.0 out of 5 stars USB to RS232 - USB Converter Cable, 21 Feb 2008
By Peter Hedges (Beaconsfield, UK) - See all my reviews
I needed an RS232-USB converter cable to convert a Garmin GPS serial cable to work with a laptop running Vista. This item is a good price and delivery was within a couple of days as expected.

When I connected it up Windows did an online search for a driver and I had it working within minutes. All I had to do was change the port setting in the software I was using and I was connected to my GPS and able to transfer files between the laptop and my GPS. No problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Works with Linux, 27 Feb 2008
By G. Hewson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Short review: I plugged the converter into a laptop running Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) and set CuteCom to use /dev/ttyUSB0. Voila!

Longer review: This is made by NEWLink Products (I'm not allowed to post a URL, but it's the top result in Google). It doesn't seem to be exactly the same as the NLUSB-0039 described in their Web catalogue, but it's close enough.

"lsusb -v" shows the chipset is a Prolific PL2303, but in fact it's a PL2303X, since bMaxPacketSize0 is 64. (Google "prolific pl2303x linuxquestions" and see the answer at the bottom of the top result.) Nevertheless, Gutsy correctly initialises the device.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Windows Vista!, 11 Dec 2007
By Pitbull (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
Fantastic - something that actually works with Windows Vista! Connected up my old Psion Series 5 with no problems, unlike everything else I've tried to get working on Microsoft's latest operating system, which appears to have either not been tested at all, or purposely designed so that you have to buy all new hardware and software! Definitely deserves five stars.
