## Description

Product description

Review: Good cable, works well in Linux - This cable works well in Linux and should work well in most any modern OS. The manufacturer provides drivers for Linux, Mac and Windows on the included mini CD and on their web site. In Linux at least, the driver is included in any kernel above 2.6.9, so no driver should need to be installed. You just plug the cable into a USB port and the system will detect it as a pl2303 device and attach it to /dev/ttyUSB0.

When using this cable in Wine, you have to link the Linux device to the Windows serial port COM1, with the command "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1" as regular user, as mentioned at [...]. Then, any Windows software that runs in Wine should be able to access your serial device. I don't currently know of any native Linux software than can back up these Casio diaries. The 13 inches of cable in this converter were practical with the Traveling Software serial cable I used it with.
Review: no drivers for windows10, working well on Linux, recommended. - on windows10 there are no drivers by default, so converter will not work. I did not try if drivers for windows7 will work (seems producer does not create driver version for windows 8 or 10) I've tried this converter with Linixmint (on currently available version 19.1 Tessa) and its working. For that I've used standard console program "minicom", which is not installed by default on this Linux To sum up: this USB to Serial Converter is okay to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great with Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) + Minicom
*by R***S on March 9, 2013*

Bought this to connect newer boxes/laptops w/o a serial port to Cisco routers and switches via a standard console/rollover cable. This worked great right out of the box with support for Linux (Tested with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS). To get it quickly configured for minicom do the following: Plug in the adapter wait a few seconds Open a terminal window and type: dmesg | grep tty Note which tty the device has been assigned Then in terminal: sudo su Configure Minicom with: minicom -s (sudo required) Select to configure serial port setup Change the serial device to the tty to which the adapter was assigned. Set BPS/parity/bits to required (Cisco 96008N1 - no flow control) Exit and save as the default Hope this helped saved you some time if you are purchasing for the same reason, I will buy this again in the future if I need another. Too fast? reference: [...] PS: If you are having trouble getting minicom from the repository (via apt-get) make sure you have universe and multiverse enabled to download minicom, do this through the package manager settings then run apt-get update and you should be good to go, google if you are having more trouble.
