Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's a nice idea - a USB-converter-built-in cable.(As an aside some day Ham gear will include the $0.50 USB chipset and this silliness will be behind us, but I digres..)
Unfortunately the manufacturer is using a custom version of the Prolific chipset, and the standard drivers from Prolific won't work.
That would be ok if their provided driver was stable, but for Windows 7/x64 users at least, it is not.On Win7/x64 it crashes the machine with a blue screen error (Interrupt contention problem of some sort) within minutes.
Very nicely-constructed, but without a working driver, and a customized chipset so you can't use the standard one (even though the USB class IDs MATCH what the Prolific driver is intended for - that's not nice!) the "product" is worth zero.
The manufacturer has been contacted; if they respond I will update the review.
