Customer Review: Don't buy it
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't bother buying it. My USA-19HS worked initially when installed but when I unplug it from the USB port and reconnect it all it does is loop back information sent to it. It will not receive data sent to the serial side. I reloaded the drivers and it worked but as soon as I unplugged it from the USB and plugged it back in it no longer worked.
All the diagnostics say everything is fine. It just does not receive data and echos back anything sent to it. Called TRIPP tech support which was totally useless. Their tech support does nothing more than read a script. I explained that it echoed back anything sent to it even when not connected to another device. Their response; the device it is connected to may not be compatible! I just told them it was not connected to anything. So I connected it to another com port on the computer with the same results. Their response; the device it is connected to may not be compatible! ITS CONNECTED TO A STANDARD PC!!!
Customer Review: A little hard to install under Windows 7, but woks well
Summary: 4 Stars
I think the title says what needs to be said, however, this product was recommended by a vendor of astronomical equipment. The only requirement for the RS232 connector was that it work consistently and not be balky. This product meets that criteria, and has for many users of the other product. The only problem that I had was in the installation. I installed it on Windows 7. I also installed it on Windows XP. During the install under XP, I had no problems whatsoever, however, My first Windows 7 installed failed. The reason for this had more to do with Windows 7 quirkiness when installing certain kinds of software, more than it had to do with the Keyspan itself, but I am not sure of this. In the end, I went to the Keyspan website and downloaded the device drivers. That seemed to work better, and finally got my Keyspan installed. To be absolutely fair here, I have had install problems with Windows 7.

Customer Review: This adapter hasn't failed me yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the request of Amazon I am here to write a brief review. I install fire and burglar alarms, and also use this for my telescope.
I first tried a $5.99 prolific based adapter, it connected to some stuff but not faster than 19,200K. I then tried a Belkin, that one was better but it couldn't handle ODD parity or so it would seem and Belkin support claimed it was not defective and must be the equipment I'm using even though it was supposed to emulate a simple serial port to receive print outs. I explained to the support person (in India) that when I connect my equipment to a desktop pc which has a built-in serial port and it worked just fine using hyperterminal, she still wouldn't admit a problem so I returned that one, too. I get this model which was recommended by the eqpt. manufacturer and haven't had a problem since.
Customer Review: Works great for Apple IIe to Mac file transfers. Virtual II, A2V2, ADT
Summary: 5 Stars
This adapter works perfectly for Apple IIe to Mac transfers and vice-versa using the A2V2 and ADT software included in the Virtual II Apple II emulator. I was able to connect my old Apple IIe to my G4 PPC running OSX 10.4.11 using a Super Serial Card in the Apple IIe, a DB25 to DE9/R232 straight through cable from RetroFloppy.com, and this Keyspan DE9 to USB adapter. The A2V2 and ADT apps included with the Virtual II emulator I'm using worked on the very first try after following the instructions in the A2V2 help file. Don't go cheap on the DE9/R232 to USB adapter, this is the one that works. The drivers are excellent and make this the no problem solution if you are in the small community I'm in. (Also, DE9 = DB9 in case you were wondering about connector terminology). - I highly recommend this adapter.Customer Review: Works great depending on what you use it for

I after trying several other cables I bought this adapter to work with my iMac Computer (OS 10.5.8) and a Zebra 2844 Label Printer. The software installs great. My problem came with connecting the adapter to the Zebra printer. Since the adapter has a bulky housing it did not fit into the back of the printer. Fortunately I was able to open the housing by pulling it apart. It worked just fine after pluging in the internals to the printer but it tended to unplug easily. So I took the empty housing and a Dremel tool and sanded down the area that was causing trouble and it worked. It took some time but the end result was worth it. The housing snapped back together and everything works just fine. Be sure that whatever the adapter connects to has enough clearance around it or you could be out of luck.
