This is by far the best USB to serial adapter I have used. A few years ago I went through many different adapters. Everything from $5 e-bay adapters to more expensive ones. The others either did not work they way they should, or they died on me after a short period of time.
I just purchased a second one of these to have in my backpack all the time. I use this adapter for everything from administering servers to configuring network equipment.
The disc that comes with this device come with drives for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. I have had not problems using this with both Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista (Ultimate and Business tested). In addition, I was able to get this to work with Ubuntu (with minicom) without any additional drivers.

One of the few USB to serial devices I found that will work with Win7, x64. Automatically loaded drivers, no need for the included CD.
This is replacing an old Belkin that did not have drivers for x64.

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).

This is one of only two of six USB to serial port cords I tried that actually works with my Magellan SporTrak GPS. One of the four that didn’t work, and was the most expensive, was purchased from Magellan (Thales Navigation).
Besides being one of least expensive, this cord has the convenience of being a simple adapter connector with a short standard USB extension cord that can be replaced with any length of cord.
