Review on πŸ”Œ HDE USB to Serial Interface Cable with Serial to RJ45 Console Adapter Cable for Cisco Routers: Powerful Connectivity Solution by Steve Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Money well spent on a device that ran in a strange virtual environment.

worked in a VERY strange environment. So I created a virtualized environment for a friend. They're working on LLCLLDDD shit and need a series of many versions. Using Oracle VB I have created several virtual machines from DOS 6.22, Win98SE, NT4 and XP. The host laptop had Win10 Pro installed with drivers installed. After setting up the Oracle USB Extension Pack for Virtual Box and configuring the hypervisor to pass this USB serial port as its own serial port on COM1, this device worked with ANY old software. Only one was tricky, so I had the XP VM access that key directly, and BOOM, he had the drivers! After that, the application worked as expected. Confused. Great little key.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
