Works fine in Mac OS X 10.2.x
I. Kim•July 5, 2003
Once you get the latest driver from the sakar web site (go to the support section), you'll be fine for mac os x 10.2.x.
the version of the driver that came in the package was too old (version 1.0.3), but the version 1.0.6 driver from the support web site made it work like a champ.

Don't like product

I purchsed this adapter for use with a basic stamp module. I can't get the software off the disk even. Say its for mac OS x, but does not work yet. Looking for drivers online may not be the solution. I wasted 30.00. what a shame. I should have spend the extra 20 dollars for the keyspan usb serial port adapter.
FALSE CLAIMS ON PACKAGE

This product DOES NOT work as advertised. The packaging claims that it is compatible with OSX 10.1 or above, and this is simply not true. After much web searching, I found an unsupported driver from a company in Taiwan that purported to make this adapter work with 10.2.x, but it did not.
This device is a terrible waste of your time and money. Avoid it.

Good luck getting it to work with Mac OS 10.2 or above.

Make sure you can find version 1.0.4 of the PL-2303 driver from iConcepts before buying this adapter. The version which ships with the adapter is an older version and won't work with Mac OS 10.2. BTW, good luck finding version 1.0.4 of the driver. I found hits through google saying the driver was available at some point from iConcepts, but it's not there now (Their support site sucks too). Piece of advice, do not buy this adapter if plugging onto a Mac running 10.2. It's not worth the hassle.
Now I have an adapter which doesn't do anything but look pretty. It'll work fine with the classic environment and probably all the Microsoft OS's but does absolutely nothing with Mac 10.2.

Works, but package has deceptive info

I got this adapter thinking I could use the serial cable for my HP Jornada 568 and get USB speeds for syncing to a new desktop (Windows) and not have to buy a new cable. The product does work, but not at USB speeds. Its driver fools the system into thinking the USB port is another serial port so you configure the sync software (MS ActiveSync in my case) to use the converted serial port. As a result, the syncing worked, but only at a max of 115200 bps instead of the "500 kbps data transfer rate" advertised on the package. Maybe other PDAs will work properly, but the Jornada apparently doesn't allow a USB connection if you use the serial cable. For those who need Windows XP drivers or further instructions for Mac, go to [...] and scroll to the bottom of the page looking for "PDA Products".
Bottom line: If you have a Jornada (or perhaps any other PocketPC PDA) and want USB syncing, just get the USB cable.
