    4 of 5 Works as advertised Wednesday, October 08, 2008
    A Customer from Minneapolis, MN  

    I bought the cable for use on a MBP and it works perfectly with the rxtx libs compiled for OS X. The cable is well built and the drivers were effortless to install.

    5 of 5 Works well, easy to install Wednesday, July 16, 2008
    A Customer from Chicag, IL  
    Works well. Installed the software included on the CDROM, Windows Vista automatically detected the new device, and connected it to an old Palm M105 with a serial connection and it works great. The build quality seems good and the connector is nice and secure to the serial port.

    5 of 5 Works great on Linux Friday, May 26, 2006
    A Customer from Boston, MA  
    I bought this adapter because my new PC doesn't have a serial port. It worked flawlessly out of the box on a Ubuntu Linux system.

    5 of 5 Works Great - Even with Win XP Sunday, August 07, 2005
    Rob Morgan from Pottstown, PA  
    There are many USB-to-Serial adaptors on the market. This one is the best. I have bought many of these Aten UC-232A converters over the years, and they have always worked well with any O/S, including Windows XP. Easy to intall, and easy to set up. Works invisably, as it should. Don't be mislead by the reviewer who says there is no driver for Win'XP. The NT driver works with XP, or you can download the latest XP driver from Aten's web site.

    1 of 5 ATEN USB to serial adapter Friday, May 24, 2002
    A Customer from Aurora FO  
    Aten does not supply Windows XP Drivers for this product. As of this writing there were no plans to do so. They seem to have lost sight of the fact that most computers come with XP installed as the default.
