Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do not buy this for a Mac OSX computer
Do not buy this for your Mac OSX computer.

I needed to sync my old Palm V with my new MacBook Pro, and I had a choice between this IOGear serial-to-USB converter or a Keyspan device which was $5 more. I bought this first, and after hours on the phone and online with combinations of IOGear, Palm, and finally in-peson with Apple people, I determined that the driver was just not working with MAC OSX.

After returning this device and purchasing a Keyspan one, I am happily using ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Don't put more than one IOGEAR GUC232A on a system
I have spent hours and hours testing these devices. They work fine under most circumstances. They are low power devices as explained in a review by somebody else.

Also, they have problems with long cable runs. If you put two or more on a computer, you can be assured that your system will crash as soon as you start sending large amounts ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great with Vista! Cisco Compatible!!!
I bought this device in hopes that it would emulate as a serial port and work with Cisco Rollover Cables. It works! I can hyperterminal as COM8 or COM9 and make changes on various Cisco switches. Used it all day at work and did not have a problem.

I have also read that it works for OS X to do Cisco work. So happy it works. I wish laptops still had Serial ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works with Modems
This adapter is is the US version of the ATEN adapter, UC232A. Same adapter just a different label. I have used this adapter to connect to modems on Windows, 2000, XP, and Vista computers. It is the only VISTA compatible adapter that actually works on VISTA (that I have tested). Unfortunately the VISTA driver does not come on the CD. You will need to download the driver from IO Gear's website.

The adapter also has OS X drivers but it DOES NOT function on OS X with modems. It will not work. Best ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works good
We bought this to replace one that we had to give to my brother. It is overpriced but works fine
