Title: Serial to usb patch cable
Product review: I purchased this item for use with a Garmin eTrex Legend GPS to hook it up to a laptop (has no serial port). It did not function at all due to bad drivers found on a home made mini cd. The computer would not recognize the Garmin at all. It seems a necessary DLL was missing. I tried Hyperterminal and instead of getting structured machine code, all I got was blocks of gibberish and garbage. I do not recommend this item. After I tried the cable on my desktop it did not work there either. I was able to simply hook it up to its serial port and it worked fine. Waste of money, time, and patience.I would rate this lower but you have to pick at least one star.
