Summary: No Support for Max OS X
Comment: I purchased the product because it had the MAC support logo. However it turns out that it only works on older MACs. I haven't been able to get it to work and support is no help. I guess belkin is satisfied selling products that do not work. Its Junk...

Summary: Works flawlessly in MacBook Pro > VMware Fusion 2 > Windows XP
Comment: This Belkin USB Adapter works flawlessly as opposed to a Keyspan USB adapter, which I also own that failed repeatedly to work. I use the Belkin USB Adapter with a MacBook Pro inside VMware Fusion 2 and Windows XP. I like the red and blue LED's that go on and off confirming that the adapter is working. I've used it primarily to run ARC-1 with my Anthem Statement D2.

Summary: worked for 1 of my 3 devices, going to the Keyspan now
Comment: I bought this to interface a variety of different serial devices to a laptop with no serial ports. It worked with a very old OmniData Polycorder data logger, did not work with an AGI SuperSting resistivity meter, and did not work with an AutoEnginuity automotive scan tool. Another disappointing product from Belkin.
Both AGI and AutoEnginuity recommend the Keyspan USA-19HS, so I bought that instead. Doing some research, I found that the Keyspan is recommended by many different manufacturers, and it has a good reputation for working with most serial devices. A better solution is a PCMCIA or Expresscard serial port card, which are about the same price as this USB adapter. But I am using an Asus EeePC, which has no Expresscard slot either.

Summary: Random BSOD under XP
Comment: Have had it for ~3 months and about 15% of the time when accessing the device under XP SP3, I get a BSOD. Eliminated rest of setup and narrowed it down to Belkin drivers, on two different laptops.
I've had good service from Belkin in the past, this is the first junk & a waste of time for me from them.
If you're serious about your task, consider a non-USB serial port solution. See:

Summary: Not for Mac osx 10.x or better
Comment: First I would like to say that I did not purchase this from Amazon. I did purchase this for my Macbook Pro as it stated that it supported Mac computers. That is not the case if you have a newer Intel Mac running osx 10.x or better. There are no drivers and none of the universal drivers will work either. Avoid this product if you happen to have an Intel based Mac.
