Worked as AdvertisedNovember 27, 2008 I needed to connect my serial Spaceball 5000 to a USB port so I could update my CAD software. At first I purchased a cheaper adapter for $10. Even with the supplied disc Windows XP would not recognize it. After reading the reviews I spent the extra money (there are cheaper ones out there). The software installed easily and when I plugged in the adapter XP recognized both the adapter and the Spaceball. Although, at first the Spaceball would not work the supplied software told me that the adapter was "COM3". I had to edit the registry and change the Spaceball com port from COM1 to COM3. Voila, it worked great with my CAD software. Spend the extra money and get this, it works. Also it's cheaper than spending $300 for a new Spaceball.
HCL Required but Good Product Anyway!November 24, 2008 Worked first time after trying two cheap alternatives from Ebay. Am using with a Concept2 Rowing Machine with a PM2+ Performance Monitor.
Would be great if Keyspan had a user entered HCL of tested kit that worked with their adapters.
Works Great!November 16, 2008 Installation went without a hitch and it has worked great from the beginning. Perhaps it's a bit more expensive than others, but I'd rather pay more for a trouble free product.

best USB-Serial adapterSeptember 30, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Keysapn High-speed USB-Serial adapter solved a problem that had me going through three other (cheaper) brand of adapter without good results. Plug in the Keyspan to my Windows XP pro PC, run the software, and voila, problem solved. Two days of messing around solved in ten minutes - now that's the best kind of PC solution....
