I haven't tried all the "others" , but have been using a Prolific 2303 for over a year now on 64 bit OSx 10.7.5. Cost me $8.49 including shipping. I use it directly in OSx to run Fldigi and in WinXP in VBox to run Winlink. Maybe other applications would have problems with it, but not these. I second the idea of getting the latest drivers however.
