Review title: Install Drivers First
Product review: I have purchased 4 or 5 of these the past few months to allow some older serial devices to connect to new Windows 7 machines. This cable has worked for several devices without a hitch. A few comments. One, make sure you get the latest drivers from the Web site and install them BEFORE you plug in the cable. The cable is actually recognized as a device in Windows. Second, you will need to go into Device Manager and change the COM port settings. Depending on the computer, I have seen Windows assign a port up to COM12. Most of the older devices I was connecting only recognize 1-4. Other than those minor changes, the cables work like a charm.
