Hello pluggers, My corporate overlord has migrated us to Windows 10 laptops. The USB-to-serial converter worked on Windows XP and Windows 7 but now has compatibility issues on Win10. Radioshack is now defunct, and Gigaware is some OEM phantom brand.
This cable uses the Prolific PL2303 chipset (no idea which version). It appears to work on my linux box, but I can't really test since I no longer have any serial devices. Offering this gadget free to anyone in the Portland/Vancouver area. Respond via email [email protected] -Ed K. The stats are: Dmesg: ------ [693328.475439] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ad, idProduct=0fba [693328.475446] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [693328.475451] usb 3-1: Product: USB-Serial Controller [693328.475454] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
