I have been looking to get a USB to Serial adapter for MAC silicon to be used over Parallels with Windows for Rockwell legacy controller and tried many and this one has the support and drivers for ARM based operating system. The Parallels or the VM fusion only support ARM based windows OS on a Mac silicon and the other serial adapters still did not release a driver for that operating system. I have been using this for past couple of weeks now and works flawlessly.

Installed in our packet site with a Raspi Pi 4 running Bookworm, Direwolf, and a Rigblaster Plus. Works perfectly. Choose this because of the status LEDs for each line. Only thing I would like to see is a short cord version and the blue LEDs on the same side as the yellow status LEDs.

Old cord had no drivers for new OS. This thing worked perfectly, plug & play, thank you!

I use them with older instrumentation software. They work flawlessly. The LED lights are a great communication check. They work on old PCs and new ones. All types of software and hardware. They work with VMWare Virtual computers or directly. They are better and more compatible than the add in cards. They are better, less flaky than other USB adapters I've tried. The are supported in all versions of Windows with or without the included driver CD. I wouldn't buy any other USB RS232 adapter.

Worked (almost*) right out of the box. Tested only in Windows 10 64 bit.Needed to program a universal remote (URC MX-800, also should work with all other variants like MX-600, MX-700, etc). *The default latency was set to 16ms which made it not communicate with my equipment properly, but setting it to 1ms in device manager solved it.LED's are nice and useful, you can see which lanes/pins are actively receiving or transmitting.Material of the case is good.Two things that could make this even more perfect in my humble opinion.Make the cable the same color as the case (smoke colored). As it is, it looks like something from 2003 or so with its see-through cable and being able to see the sheilding.Second, if they could somehow add a opaque piece of plastic between each LED so the light doesnt bleed into the holes next to it, it would look so much more nice looking and easier to read the LEDs.

This works in both Windows 10 and Linux Fedora Core 25. Had to purchase a new one when Windows 10 would not accept the old FTDI format. This was a simple PNP for W10 to find the driver. Linux already knew [yes, Linux is smarter than W10, but you already knew that] and added it under /dev/ttyUSB0.I took the old FTDI one and used it on a Linux test system as W10 would not see it anymore. Waste not, want not.Oh, the added bonus of lights really helps. This is great to see that your really sending [or receiving data]. The other nice part is the RTC/CTS/DTR lights in case you need hardware flow control. Good unit, I really like it. It's now part of my Laptop travel bag.

I got this to connect my SU1400 UPS to my PC (and its 'Powerchute' B.E. V9.2 software). So far it works fine under Windows 7 64-bit.(I had an old Keyspan USA-19HS TI based adapter that seemed to work at first, but somehow actually hung my PC when waking from hybrid sleep...I assume related to the older drivers it used).When I first connected the Gearmo to my PC, it loaded some older (2010) drivers from the internet and came up as COM3. This initially seemed o.k., but when my PC woke from sleep the UPS software had lost connectivity.I then loaded the latest FTDI drivers (2.12.26 from the FTDI website) using the EXE version. This somehow then came up as COM5.But, after I adjusted the settings back to COM3 (which it thought was still in use), things have worked o.k. since. It even comes out of sleep without an issue (and resumes communication).The lights conveniently let me know when it's working. Pretty neat.
