Belkin USB-Serial adapter, December 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Belkin USB Serial Modular Adapter for Mac Din8/DB9 with 5 Imac Colored Sleeves (Personal Computers)
Not at all happy with this device. The claim "compatible with all serial devices" the reality is it is not . I wanted to connect my LaserWriter to my iMac (serial to USB). After much frustration I called Belkin and was told that this product does not support LaserWriter printers. Belkin was not very helpful and returning the product means I am out the shipping. If you are considering this product call to get specific compatiblity specs.

Works with very few devices & requires software patches, July 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Belkin USB Serial Modular Adapter for Mac Din8/DB9 with 5 Imac Colored Sleeves (Personal Computers)
This adapter only seems to work well with a couple of HP printers for which it requires that you patch the printer drivers. It won't work with Epson printers. Contrary to their claims, it will not work with PDA's. Buy the Keyspan serial adapter. Keyspan adapters are not compatible with a lot of devices, but they are compatible with many more devices than this horrible Belkin adapter. Also, Keyspan has better support.
