Review: Best USB to Serial cable. - Came with information leaflet. It is a plug and play unit. I have to download the application as indicated on the leaflet. Worked great. I like it. I do recommend it for programmers who needs to usb to serial cable.
Review: This one worked the first try. - This unit worked perfectly right out of the box for my PIMPx ECU. It has the correct prolific chipset, so there is no need for searching the web for fixes or patches that I have had to do with the Sabrent version. If you have a PIMPx and are tired of dealing with the connection errors, etc., then this is the one you want. Maker sure to uninstall all of the previous drivers and restart before installing the new driver from their website.
