Easy-to-use GPS Connection Adapter

Like other reviewers, I bought this adapter to connect my Garmin eTrex Legend GPS to my new computer that doesn't have a serial port. The included mini-disk contained a driver and quick start guide. The manual said to install the driver before plugging in the adapter, but I didn't read it, so I did everything in reverse order. (No problem.) The driver on the CD worked fine, although Windows XP MCE complained about it. Pros: MUCH cheaper than the Garmin adapter but still working Cons…

Sabrent SBT-USC1K - useless

I purchased this unit and a Sabrent SBT-USC6M (six foot unit) to connect to the router's console ports. None of these work on a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista Home Premium. After investigating the problem and trying various methods, I contacted Sabrent via email and they emailed me a Vista installer for the device, which I couldn't find on the Sabrent website, by the way. I ran it and the installed device stopped working - once - and the installation package didn't reinstall the drivers.

Pros
  • Serial Adapters
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Excellent physical hardware, perfect Linux compatibility

I bought this machine because of the picture I saw. If you look closely you will see that the end of the DB9 (serial port, RS-232) cable looks like a standard serial cable connector. It has male pins, male thumbscrews, and no protruding parts around the DB9 connector itself. I've used several other serial adapters and they all seem to have clunky or weird hardware protruding into the space around the connector. Such protruding hardware makes it difficult to connect the adapter directly to…
