Review: Expensive but Good - Startech normally deliver very good products, this was very expensive for what it is but for my job so far its proved incredibly useful and helpful. Universally worked on all serial ports and switches needed.
Review: You get what you pay for - Having tried cheap versions of a USB to Serial converter, which were nothing but grief, I bought this entirely on the strength of the unanimous 5 star reviews. I have only had the product a couple of hours and it is already in and working having successfully connected my Palm Vx to a USB port on my XP pc. There was a minor glitch in loading the driver, which under XP did not install automatically as others have found. Fortunately, there was documentation in English with the product, which helped. Had to look a couple of directories beyond where the doc suggested, but it finally installed OK. Restarted the machine as requested and, bingo, it works perfectly. Let's hope it stays that way - the previous adapter packed after a few minutes - but for now I have no hesitation in adding yet another 5 * rating. Although much expensive than the previous adapter, which cost £2.30, I wish I'd gone straight for this one. It would have certainly saved me a load of time, effort and stress trying to figure out why it wasn't working. In this case, you certainly do get what you pay for!
