Worked perfectly in vista July 21, 2008
Mr. G. Blades (UK)
Plugged it into my Vista notebook and although the instructions said to point to the supplied CD when asked for a driver vista found the driver via windows update automatically and it started working straight away.
You probably only need the CD if you dont have an internet connection the first time you plug it in.
Good stuff May 11, 2008

Bought whizzy new PC (Dell with Vista) - but oh dear, no RS232 port for my faithful old Garmin hand-held GPS. Bought this little cracker, sets up a treat and immediately appears as 'COM 3' in the device manager.
I guarantee you won't tell the difference between this and a 'real' serial port, at the expense of using up another USB socket of course.
Great little product!

Bought a PC without a serial port. Needed one for my Garmin 72 GPS. Bought this converter and it worked first time. Only had to change the COM Port setting and off it went. Delighted...Would recommend this item to anyone with a Garmin.
Works with Vista March 21, 2008

I needed to connect my Hayes modem to Vista and without and serial ports it was not going to happen. I ordered this even though it didn't say it was compatible with Vista and it was delivered next day. It was instantly recognised, drivers installed and working within minutes. Excellent product at an amazing price.
Couldn't make it work, but help was at hand March 2, 2008

Bought this cable, and the little CD that came with it clearly assumed a greater level of knowledge than I possessed! I was lost and couldn't install a driver for it. Then I found the link to the seller (Aquarius Computers) and an invitation to contact via a contact form. This was 2.30pm on a Saturday, and by 4pm same day I had a reply pointing me at a site to directly download the driver, which was straightforward to install. Everything working smoothly now.
If you have the same problem (I have XP and using the cable to run an external modem) Google "PL-2303 Software and Drivers" (include the double quotes) and choose the link ending ID=31. There, on the Prolific Technology Inc. site, you will find a file to download called wd_pl2303_v20019v2028.zip. Caters for Win98SE/ME and Win2K/XP/2003.
