Summary: Unstable and intermittently functional
Comment: I received this as part of a bundle, not through Amazon, but because I use Amazon for a lot of purchases I feel compelled to register my concern over this component here. I run it with a Polar RS400 (which I really like) and use Windows XP SP2. I have to cross fingers, say a prayer, extract my running data and then quickly disconnect the IR device before I get a blue screen of death. Half the time the IR device goes into a continuous transmit state and won't talk with the RS400 at all. I have never had this much trouble with a peripheral that wasn't obviously physically defective. Do not buy this, and communicate with Polar to provide a better interface to their products.

Summary: Temperamental but functional
Comment: I have the polar S625X HRM. The adapter Interface works reasonably well on my Mac Pro (2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) with Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac (Build 5608) running windows xp pro (5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600). Still, Mac OS X 10.5 running Parallels running windows running the Polar software is a pretty desperate solution. Polar abandoned Mac users long ago; consequently, I can NOT rate this more than 3 stars.

Temperamental? After setting the HRM to connect mode I have to lay the HRM face down with no more than 2-3 inches between the HRM's ir window and the adapter interface, then cuff my hand over the adapter without blocking the line-of-sight between the HRM Ir window and the Adapter Interface to shield from ambient light. Sometimes I also have to toggle the STIr42xx device off and on in Parallels... Like another reviewer said: definitely NOT plug-n-play!

Summary: It flashes but doesn't work
Comment: I was really disappointed with this product. It may not be the product itself, but when it is plugged into my usb port it many times shuts down my computer.

Summary: Don't Buy It
Comment: Don't buy this USB Interface. It says it's compatable with Windows, but it isn't. As soon as you install the drivers, Windows provides a warning that it is not compatable - and Windows is right. Once you install it, your system becomes unstable and doesn't work properly anymore. There is nothing like having to re-install your operating system. Polar generally makes good products, but this is pathetic and they should fix it. A word to the wise - don't buy it.
