Many of these Chinese USB-Serial converters do not provide full serial port device functionality. This is one of them. Do not waste your money on this product. In my case it would not work with the MyHd serial IR Receiver.

Who knows, this is probably a fine product, but the drivers do not work with Windows Vista. At least I couldn't get them working.

I needed this to connect a PWS to my PC, and I could never get it to work. I was running Vista Ultimate. I am not a tech geek nor am I a slouch. I know what I am doing. I would just look elsewhere or get confirmation there are Vista drivers.

I tried getting this to work with my vista laptop, no go! Then I tried with windows XP, no go! Now its uselessly laying around in one of my cabinets. The drivers provided were very outdated and I could not find any good drivers any where else. Useless, not worth getting, I will consider changing this review if the Person who sold this to me comes up with some good drivers. The reason why I know its not my hardware that is not working is because I tried a different Serial to USB cable and it works just fine. If someone knows where I can get drivers then please let me know...
