 Does not work with XP64 bit July 26, 2010
C. Hughes (Sacramento, CA USA)
When I plugged it in it attempted to install automatically and failed. Then I went to manually install it and found there were no drivers listed for XP64bit. I tried some of the other drivers, but none worked. I called technical support and told them I couldn't find any XP64 drivers. They told me to re-install it using the proper drivers. I told them I couldn't because there were none available on their website. They told me to go to their website and type in the model number of the device (GUC232A) which I did. Then they said to down the correct driver. I said "There is no XP64 bit driver listed here." They paused for a long time and then said "Sorry, we have no XP64 bit driver for this."
 Good product March 16, 2010

 Two Radio Programming with IOGear Guc232A February 17, 2010
M. Cullen (Arizona)
We have tested almost half a dozen USB to Serial converters over the past few years.
Most of the devices on the market did not work reliably when "Reading" or "Writing" Icom, Kenwood, or Motorola radio programs to various mobile and portable radios. For a long time we continued to use older computers with serial ports.
Almost all modern laptops have no serial ports yet the radio program interfaces are still RS-232 hook-ups.
This IOGear device is THE best solution we've found so far. As suggested in the loading instructions....keep to the original comport for which the device is first established. Technician Philip Burrington Niles Radio Communication.
Works as advertised February 8, 2010

Had no problems using it for intended purpose which is to console into Cisco devices. Though had to download driver for Windows 7 - no biggie.
BAD buggy faulty lame flawed ancient XP driver DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME December 30, 2009
Peter Klammer
This USB serial port sucks. That would be zero stars if I could. It works OK for a while, but -- for example -- after a few hundred blocks of 1063 ASCII characters, it starts delivering bytes out of order! The only XP driver I can find for this, from [...], DriverGuide, aten-[...], or anyGooglewhere, is the ATEN USB to Serial Bridge, version 2.0.0.18, dated 2003. (Debugged by disconnecting block-ASCII source, attaching PC Hyperterminal, typed in 'x', 'x', 'y', delivered 'L', 'M', 'N' -- previous characters from now-disconnected source! Isolated to the adapter by swapping my block-ASCII source cord to the other, "real" COM1, got hours of flawless I/O.) What a way to waste a day debugging cables, peripherals, VB.net code, etc., when the interface was the culprit all along!
I'm going to try try KeySpan next; wish me luck.
