	1st mate and Admiral
	I couldn't be happier with this product. We used it with our Garmin handheld GPS before we installed our new ICOM AIS. It works as advertised. It also appears to have resolved the issues I had with a Prolific based GPS device.

	Great buy, works great! Company provides many useful manuals, and drivers for different systems, and applications.

	Director, Product Development
	This product is inexpensive and reliable. We experienced issues with a similar Profilic-based Serial-to-USB adapter cable (our app would lose connection with the virtual COM port, and the port would then be unavailable until a reboot!); switching to this cable resolved this. In our testing, we found that the drivers (from 2/2009?) that ship with this cable (as of 6/2010) bluescreened our systems. FTDI has an updated driver (from 10/2009?) that resolves this problem.
