Works flawlessly under Kubuntu Linux2008-09-22
I purchased the adapter to connect my older GPS receiver with my Linux desktop. When I connected the adapter to my desktop, Linux immediately recognized it and assigned it a serial port device number. It also works well in Vista after installing the included driver. No fuss, no trouble.
Does NOT work with Vista2008-07-10
This product did not come with the device drivers to enable my Garmin to connect with a PC Vista computer. I am unsure whether this is due to the major scratches on the disc that came with it (I tried it on an XP computer as well) or what. I tried to find something online but everything relevant is in Chinese. A COMPLETE waste of money. Be careful...this company makes it sound like it will work with basically any device, but that was NOT my experience.
Does not work well in industry2008-05-13
The CablesToGo USB to Serial adapter did not work for me. I tryed using it in an industrial setting to connect a Vista machine to RS Linx and other industrial software. I love their instructions - see if the adapter shows up as properly installed in the windows device manager (which it does). If it doesn't work, the problem is with your software. Right.

Don't waste your time or money on this product. There is a reason there are 54 used ones for sale for a couple of bucks on Amazons site. If you want a solution that works every time, purchase the Keyspan USA 19HS adapater. It plain works. Sure it costs twice as much, but no excuses. See my review on the Keyspan adapter for connectivity to RS Linx using a Vista or XP machine.
Works great2008-05-01
I run a couple of devices off of this cable as needed. Each works flawlessly. It may take a little bit more computer savvy then the normal plug and play, just to make sure that the computer is searching for the device on the right com port (took me about ten minutes of frustration to figure out that the device had seated on com11 - switched it to com1 and all well)!!

Also - for those who don't read installation manuals (myself included) - it helps to run the install disk first... :)

If you need this type of connectivity, I highly recommend!

All the best,

Jay
Great COM1 option for laptop with USB only2008-04-20
I have a laptop with USB but I needed a COM1 port to communicate with my GPS.

This product did exactly what I needed. It came with a CD with the necessary drivers and instructions that made the whole process quite easy.

If you need a COM1 port on a computer that only has USB, this is the product for you.

A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then. In 1997 at a press conference in Roswell, New Mexico during the 50th anniversary of the historic alleged UFO crash ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
