1Not for 64 bit Computers  Jul 06, 2010
I'm sure this product works fine for 32 bit computers, but so far I have not found any RS-232 cable that works for 64 bit computers. I tried to use this to download GPS coordinates directly to my Garmin Vista from a geocaching web site, but it will not work. This is the second RS-232 cable I've tried and there appears to be a lack of interest in the industry to provide the drivers to make them compatible with 64 bit computers. The vendor was great. Refunded my money immediately. I give them 5 stars.

4Works Eventually  Jun 14, 2010
I'm using this with a Garmin eTrex GPS and Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I couldn't use the driver install CD since it's a mini-CD that doesn't work in slot-loading optical drives, so I tried to download the driver from Gilsson's site. No dice. I next tried to use a different version of the driver from Prolific Technology (who makes the chip), which also didn't work. Finally, I got it to work by installing an open source driver found here: [..] Not an easy install! Once I got the right driver, it worked fine.

5It works!  Mar 04, 2010
I bought a new computer that didn't have a serial port but I have things that require a serial port. It comes with a driver disk. You run the program on the disk to create the driver. I had to set it to serial port 6 to get it to work. Everything runs quicker than with a real serial port and some things time out too soon, but it works and that's what I need.
