I have a couple of ATEN UC232A's but had trouble with newer DELL and HP laptops with the port freezing and locking up, did some research and people were recommending USB to RS232 utilising the FTDI chipset over the ATEN's Prolific chipset.<br>
<br>
The one I bought is a SABRENT 6ft (3 Metre) USB 2.0 to RS232 FTDI chipset cable off ebay, it has performed flawlessly on every OS and hardware i've thrown at it, Desktop, laptop, Windows, Linux, OSX.<br>
<br>
Can't recommend them highly enough, the ATEN's I have relegated to a few fixed console boxes where they perform just fine in their own roles.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Jim.<span class="im HOEnZb"><br>

Resurrecting this thread (new Mac, no USB Serial Adapter).<br>
<br>
Do people still recommend the ATEN? I’ve heard it’s harder to get hold of these days and doesn’t have much ongoing support, as it was acquired by Prolific?<br>
<br>
Are the Keyspan or genuine Prolifics easy enough to find in Australia?<br>

Another +1 for the Aten units. The newest version work on the Surface Pro 3 tablets too.<br>
