Thanks for no help! I'm not gonna play games or try to up anyone. You may think or feel superior to the rest of us on here and beat us down with your comments. Thanks, no thanks!

I use the noted adapters in an industrial situation. With the passing of machines that no longer can be assured to have serial ports we were forced to find some reliable adapters.

If sharing the models we use offended you, I'm sorry.

If sharing the successes offends you, I'm sorry.

-> Now what's the issue here?
