The product looks good but does not have a driver for XP on the mini-cd that came with it. I have not found a driver for it yet and am still looking. IF you run XP don't buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could not make it work with Windows Vista, April 19, 2010

Installing this device to Windows Vista caused the dreaded blue screen of death every time I plugged it into a USB port. The drivers loaded to the computer without any errors, but as soon I plugged in the cord and the USB manager "sensed" the device, it would trigger an IRQ conflict resulting in a stack dump.

I ended up tossing it in the trash.

This adapter cable does not work with Windows XP, Vista or 7. I have spent 8 hours trying to make it work, installing different drivers, etc.
I would like to return the adapter, but return shipping costs more than the adapter did. I have been cheated out of my money and 8 hours of time.
I am surprised that Amazon allows vendors to sell faulty merchandise. I guess the almighty dollar speaks louder than these reviews. It would be nice to be credited for our troubles.
