Customer Reviews

Blue Screen of Death
This does not work under win XP. It seems to work, but frequently crashes the OS with the infamious windows "Blue Screen of Death".

This is even true with the latest drivers downloaded from the IOGear web site as of 4/2005.

IOGear tech support does not respond to error reports on this device.

RUN AWAY!

Doesn't Work
I should have believed those other reviews that says this Serial Adapter doesn't work on XP, because it doesn't. The driver included on the CD does absolutly nothing, and the adapter simply will not work. Do not buy it if you are running XP.

Does Not Work With Windows XP
Trust the other reviewers. This does not work with Windows XP. Even though on the outside of the box it states it will work with XP on the inside it says "We have developed a walkthrough for our customers wishing to use the USB/PDA adapter with Windows XP. Although we currently make no official guarantees of functionality, many people have had success when installing the Windows 2000 driver." They can't even say it will work. Many hours of attempting to get this to work for my Palm Vx, I was about to give up UNTIL I saw on Amazon an adapter that Reviwers said worked with Windows XP. I bought it and it does!! So, save your money from IOGEAR and purchase the CABLES TO GO USB to Serial Adapter. It is so much simpler to install and it works!!!
