Product Review (submitted on November 19, 2014):

I bought one of the cheaper USB/RS232 converters and had a lot of problems. It worked, but the drivers sucked up so much CPU, that the whole machine ran soooooo sloooow, thus rendering the application useless, as serial data was lost. With this guy (using the FTDI Chip) everything worked right off. I didn't need the LEDs, but i've been in plenty of RS232 situations where the LEDs would of been super useful. I'm on a mac using parallels, running XP for the application i'm using. Since i already had the FTDI driver installed, there was no setup, and this worked perfectly first time. I'll thru the other one i had in the circular file, what a waste of time that was.
