Digital camera reviews of Keyspan by Tripp Lite USA-19HS Hi-Speed USB Serial Adapter, PC, MAC, supports Cisco Break Sequence
Digital camera Review: Excellent product, but a little bulky
Summary: 5 Stars
This adapter installed easily and worked perfectly with no hicups. I'm using it between a Compaq notebook and a DBX professional sound processor. I searched high and low to find a USB - serial adapter that would work with the DBX. This is the only one I have found that works. It's a great product, other than being a bit bulky compared to other USB-serial. My only other gripe is that the detachable cord always seems to be missing when I need it. These are very minor negatives for such a fine product. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a high quality adapter, especially those in the sound industry who need to connect to their DBX processors.Digital camera Review: Fanstastic device

If you are having serial port problems, this is likely the answer. It is the gold standard for USB serial ports. I strongly recommend it. Myself and another person started a new company. When we needed a serial port, we both said this one at the same time based on past experience.
If I could give it more than 5 starts I would. It just plain works!!!
Digital camera Review: Fantastic Mac support
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a cheap USB-serial cable from eBay and used some free PL2303 drivers that I downloaded. Despite the fact that drivers installed okay and detected the hardware, I only got garbage data from it.
So I took a chance and bought this USB-serial cable, since there were so many Mac users extolling its virtues. They are all correct: this cable works great! And it has some of the best Mac support I've seen from a hardware vendor.
The cable ships with a CD that has Windows and Mac (OS 9 *and* OS X) drivers and documentation on it. The documentation is great -- it fully describes the installation process, which is very simple actually but there maybe some issues here and there. It also covers using the cable with various popular devices, like a Palm Pilot and Virtual PC. There's even a small application that gets installed that gives you some status info and lets you install the drivers.
One caveat is that that you can only install one set of drivers for an OS. So if you install the OS X drivers, you can't also install the OS 9 drivers and use it in Classic mode. You also can't install the Windows drivers if you're running Virtual PC, but there are instructions on how to get around that. The documentation even says that Keyspan doesn't officially support Virtual PC, but they include instructions provided by end-users anyway. I wish every vendor provided that kind of documentation.
I know this cable is much more expensive that the cheap-o ones you find elsewhere, but if you're a Mac user, don't waste your time with any other USB-serial cable.
Digital camera Review: Fantastic Multi-Platform Support
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a few of these now and they are all fantastic! I have used them on both windows and mac OS (tiger,leopard,and snow leopard) for instrument control and they installed in a few minutes. I used python to write some control software and it easily connected to the provided drivers. The plastic case is a little cheap, but the hardware and software is of high quality.Digital camera Review: Fast easy to use
