Customer Review: Perfect solution for serial Wacom tablet
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently found myself needing to dust off my vintage Wacom tablet (ArtZ II), for an upcoming project. It's been several computers since I've used the thing and so was dismayed to find that 'modern' computers can't be bothered with the lowly serial port. What the hell is that all about?? Parallel port? Fine, get rid of it - it was an eyesore anyway. But the serial port? Who's bright idea was it to do away with it? I pay all this money, and I've got no serial port? Ain't right!! Anyway, I tried the PCI serial adapter card route and unbelievably it didn't work. It installed properly. Windows knew what to do with it, the Wacom software recognized the tablet during install, but the damn thing would not work. So rather than wasting time in tracking down the source of the conflict, I took the advice from Wacom tech support and installed the Keyspan adapter that we are all talking about here. His sole reccomendation was the Keyspan - that it was the only one he knew for sure would work. I bought it, installed it, hooked up the tablet, and am now making pretty pictures on my computer.
This is a high quality product that easily resolved a high challenge application.
Customer Review: Keyspan is a winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
Turns out, I've fallen in love with Keyspan products! I purchased this USB/Serial adapter at the same time as their wireless remote control for my laptop and both work perfectly for everything I needed them to do. I'd read for several years that the Keyspan USB/Serial adapter just plain works for anything requiring a serial port. Most (all?) laptops are no longer providing serial ports and some (many?) of us still have need for said serial port(s). While there are many lesser USB/Serial adapters available at the big-box stores, they have issues with some peripherals. I need to control computer-controlled telescopes which require a serial port. Many adapters will do this, but UPDATING the firmware or motor-control firmware requires a more capable adapter - this one works perfectly for any and all tasks I've come across. Enough said...it just plain works, and works perfectly. It comes with a CD-Rom containing the drivers necessary to make it work properly. Be sure to following the instructions and install the drivers BEFORE plugging in the adapter. I couldn't be happier with this device.Customer Review: Saved the Day
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife does embroidery with a commercial machine that is quite a few years old and was originally designed to connect to a PC via a serial port. Well, as we know modern computers do not offer serial ports any longer. After some searching on the Internet I cam across one artical where an individual said he was able to connect his machine using the Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter, specifically the model USA-19HS.
I was able to locate the product on Amazon.com and ordered it right away. Ordering and shipping went off without any problems and the item was shipped right away, arriving within days. The product arrived sooner than promised, was well packaged and contained all necessary parts and a CD with the necessary drivers and instructions for installation.
After installing the drivers and the devices as per the instructions I hooked up the machine and everything worked just as it should. I'm very happy with the purchase and could not have asked for better service from Amazon.

Customer Review: This adapter hasn't failed me yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the request of Amazon I am here to write a brief review. I install fire and burglar alarms, and also use this for my telescope.
I first tried a $5.99 prolific based adapter, it connected to some stuff but not faster than 19,200K. I then tried a Belkin, that one was better but it couldn't handle ODD parity or so it would seem and Belkin support claimed it was not defective and must be the equipment I'm using even though it was supposed to emulate a simple serial port to receive print outs. I explained to the support person (in India) that when I connect my equipment to a desktop pc which has a built-in serial port and it worked just fine using hyperterminal, she still wouldn't admit a problem so I returned that one, too. I get this model which was recommended by the eqpt. manufacturer and haven't had a problem since.
Customer Review: Works great for Apple IIe to Mac file transfers. Virtual II, A2V2, ADT
Summary: 5 Stars
This adapter works perfectly for Apple IIe to Mac transfers and vice-versa using the A2V2 and ADT software included in the Virtual II Apple II emulator. I was able to connect my old Apple IIe to my G4 PPC running OSX 10.4.11 using a Super Serial Card in the Apple IIe, a DB25 to DE9/R232 straight through cable from RetroFloppy.com, and this Keyspan DE9 to USB adapter. The A2V2 and ADT apps included with the Virtual II emulator I'm using worked on the very first try after following the instructions in the A2V2 help file. Don't go cheap on the DE9/R232 to USB adapter, this is the one that works. The drivers are excellent and make this the no problem solution if you are in the small community I'm in. (Also, DE9 = DB9 in case you were wondering about connector terminology). - I highly recommend this adapter.
