Perfect adaptation for the application
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Believe it or not, there is an ocean of equipment in the retro world that requires conversion equipment such as this in order to operate. Having the availability and reliability of such a simple device in hand when needed, is like scoring a golden key to access the forgotten realm of connectivity. I applaud the foresight of those who recognize the critical application of merging simple but effective applications to present technology. It beats the heck out of soldering and jumpers. This device worked well for the application. Keep up the good work!

For Needing an RS-232 DB-9 USB adapter it is great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed the adapter for my Macbook Pro, I run Windows 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine using VMware Fusion. I have noticed that with Parallels and VMware Fusion that when you attach a USB device to you mac and tell your virtual Machine to Capture it for the Guest OS to run it is hit or miss on finding devices that will work properly that way. When I looked on the back of the package it said that this adapter suports OS X and Windows I bought and tried it and it works great.
