Summary: Do not buy this for a Mac OSX computer
Comment: 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 my Keyspan USA19HS.

Summary: Don't put more than one IOGEAR GUC232A on a system
Comment: 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. Put one of them on a computer and as long as the electrical ground is good between the computer and the device sending and/or receiving the data, they work flawlessly. 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 of data through both devices. You system will crash even if the data are not sent simultaneously.

Oh yes, forget support from IOGEAR. You will either get a non-answer or no answer.

Summary: Great with Vista! Cisco Compatible!!!
Comment: 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 don't believe in using the CD media provided. I downloaded from the website and did not have one problem installing drivers.

I have also read that it works for OS X to do Cisco work. So happy it works. I wish laptops still had Serial Ports installed on them.

Summary: Works with Modems
Comment: 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 to use the Keyspan running OS X.
