Customer Reviews

USB to RS232 - USB Converter Cable
I needed an RS232-USB converter cable to convert a Garmin GPS serial cable to work with a laptop running Vista. This item is a good price and delivery was within a couple of days as expected.

When I connected it up Windows did an online search for a driver and I had it working within minutes. All I had to do was change the port setting in the software I was using and I was connected to my GPS and able to transfer files between the laptop and my GPS. No problems.

Good stuff
Bought whizzy new PC (Dell with Vista) - but oh dear, no RS232 port for my faithful old Garmin hand-held GPS. Bought this little cracker, sets up a treat and immediately appears as 'COM 3' in the device manager.

I guarantee you won't tell the difference between this and a 'real' serial port, at the expense of using up another USB socket of course.

Great little product!

Couldn't make it work, but help was at hand
Bought this cable, and the little CD that came with it clearly assumed a greater level of knowledge than I possessed! I was lost and couldn't install a driver for it. Then I found the link to the seller (Aquarius Computers) and an invitation to contact via a contact form. This was 2.30pm on a Saturday, and by 4pm same day I had a reply pointing me at a site to directly download the driver, which was straightforward to install. Everything working smoothly now.
If you have the same problem (I have XP and using the cable to run an external modem) Google "PL-2303 Software and Drivers" (include the double quotes) and choose the link ending ID=31. There, on the Prolific Technology Inc. site, you will find a file to download called wd_pl2303_v20019v2028.zip. Caters for Win98SE/ME and Win2K/XP/2003.
