Rated 5 out of 5 bygypsymoth from Unit no longer functionsThe driver which I tried to updat from your site will not download properly on my laptop. It downloads however it does not load when i open the application. I selected the Windows 7 Beta driver for my USA-19HS interface unit. My laptop does not recognize the unit when i plug it in. The power on indicator lamp (LED) does not come on.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySerial from Great, except for Windows 10I've used this adapter for years very successfully with WinXP and Win7. Works perfectly; five stars. But I cannot get it to work reliably with Windows 10; zero stars. Everything seems OK at first with Win10, but the adapter triggers a blue screen of death from time to time due to a problem in the driver. I can't live with that.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNetwork Ninja from Gets the job done!I use this on a day to day basis as a Network Engineer. It's pretty straight forward and definitely gets the job done. I have used others that not as reliable so this is my go-to adapter. I would, however, like to see something a little bit more solid/sturdy. While it's not as fragile as other adapters, I imagine it wouldn't take much to crush or cause the casing to separate. Otherwise, no complaints!

Rated 5 out of 5 bySparkey from It worked where others failed!I bought this USB to Serial adapter because I had some equipment that wasn't working with the adapter that I owned previously. This adapter was very easy to set up and everything worked flawlessly and automatically. I have now tried it with all my serial devices and it works with them all. Thank you for a great product
