Summary: Amazing! Works with eTrex GPS, Street Atlas 6 and Mac OS X
Review: Switching over to Mac OS X (10.2) from OS 9 was fearful because I thought there was no GPS supported mapping application in OS X.Well, to my complete surprise, with the eTrex GPS connected to the iConcepts USB-Serial adapter, Street Atlas 6.0 running in Classic mode found the GPS and is more stable than in OS 9.2.2!
I am not sure which driver is being used - the native OS X driver or the OS 9 Extension - I am guessing it is the OS X (10.2) native driver since I have extensions turned off for Classic. The adapter is smaller in profile than others and is much cheaper - so buy a couple.

Summary: No Stars Would Be A Better Rating
Review: The instructions (on the package and on the CD) are vague and not helpful. When I installed the driver for Windows XP (my operating system), my modem and scanner would no longer work. I had to spend several hours getting things right again. I definitely do not recommend this item as it is very unsatisfactory. I am returning it.

Summary: Works Fine Just as advertised
Review: This adapter works pretty much like every other serial-to-USB device,the driver installs a new COM port that works through the USB bus. You just plug the cable from the cradle into the iConcepts USB Adapter and then plug the USB adapter into a USB port on your computer. You'll have to reconfigure Hot Sync to use the new COM port after installation, but other than that, installation was easy and the device is transparent to the user. I am really satisfied with this product and I have purchased 2 of them and been using it for over a month now with no problems, It works on my MAC and also works with Windows XP, I got the XP Drivers from the fellow over at iConcepts whom was very helpful. There Phone# is 800 637 1090 and ask for customer service(very informative) I'm really not sure why reviewers of other similar devices are so upset that they all work this way, given that the Palm must connect via a serial port.

Summary: Poor product, worst support!
Review: This product did not work. It did not convert my Palm Vx serial cable to USB, allowing me to sync with my new Mac iBook. Worse yet, the crudely printed instructions contained inaccuracies and the support email address is not accurate. To complete the picture, they do not answer their phones and when I reached someone in sales by email, they have not responded past the original (non-technical) response. A disaster and waste of money for me!

Summary: No XP driver = worthless
Review: This product does not have a driver for Windows XP, which makes it a very [costly] paperweight. Customer support said to use the Windows 2000 driver and it would work, but they were wrong. When they get a working driver for XP I think this product may be worth something.

Summary: Worthless for Mac
Review: 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.

Summary: Absolutely Horrible! Do not buy for Macs!
Review: This product's manuals were absolutely the worst. It refuses to work with my iBook and I can't even find the proper tech support information. I'd recommend buying the official Palm version instead!
