Great for legacy equipment

Works well with connecting to legacy equipment. I haven't had any issues with it so far. Driver installed quick with no problems. I did have to go into device manager and set it as COM1. Once I did that, no problems. Even worked with OLD equipment I connect to and had to emulate Win98 in my XP environment. Only 4 stars for features because if you use a null-modem cable with it the thumb screws needed to be females instead of males so I had to zip-tie the connections together.
