This adapter was recommended by the author of the unusual free application, a Morse Telegraph interface, which uses the signal control lines instead of RD/SD for data transfer. [...] That said I've been using serial RS-232 comms since the mid 1960's for both business and pleasure and now retired I will be using it for other pleasure apps as well.

Like someone else stated, the 64 bit drivers (version 3.0.2) are unreliable, they cause a blue screen of death with multiple-IRP_complete_requests error and this happens at 115.200 bps. The other user had the same problem at a slower speed. This problem makes the product unusable on 64 bit operating systems.

Comments about 1.5ft USB to DB9 Serial Adapter Cable:
Am using this device to connect between several networking hardware serial ports (a.k.a. "Console Management" connections) and a USB-only laptop running Vista and PuTTY.
Can't say if this product would be suitable for ALL serial-to-USB applications ...
... but in THIS particular application, the device installed easily and w/o incident the first time; and has operated flawlessly since the first "connect" attempt.
