2.0 out of 5 stars No Windows 7 driver, March 10, 2010

Can't get my new laptop to recognize a serial transcription pedal plugged into the USB via the Belkin because there is no Windows 7 driver. It's not mentioned on the CD that came with the cable. Nor is there a Windows 7 driver available on the Belkin site. Works fine on an old XP machine but that's not the one I bought the cable for since that pc also has serial. Windows 7 has been out a while so I wonder if Belkin even plans on creating drivers for that OS for its existing cables.

Like most Belkin products, this is a piece of junk. The prod. description says it supports macs. Dont believe it. It doesnt. You find out after calling their tech support that is only support OLD Macs.
And you cant return it if its been opened. What a ripoff!

Wish I had read the reviews first. This doesn't have Mac OS X drivers available. Package says Mac OS compatible, but my Mac won't see it and I don't have Classic installed anymore. Too bad. Belkin support didn't offer any help, either. `
