Any dongle with a Prolific PL2303 chipset (such as those sold by Jaycar) will be reasonably compatible with most OS'.<br>

The default Ubuntu/CentOS kernel will talk to them and OSX will talk to them with something like

Still annoyed that I didn't test a 32GB SD card before I left the store a few weeks ago.<br>

Went to use it in a picture frame and my Mac won't talk to it.<br>

Given that it was brand-name I assume it's dodgy as per bunny's blog (worth Googling and reading).<br>

Haven't bothered trying to take it back.<br>

I've just realised that my USB-to-serial adaptor that stays in my laptop<br>
