Pros: It works splendidly on PCs that have no serial ports (or fewer than the desired number). Very fast compared to a USB dongle, but for many, it's a non-issue anyway (unless you're using it to transfer firmware or something similar).
Cons: Well, I had to open my PC to put it in, but that's to be expected by a PCI card, I'd think.Also, COM ports are starting to go the way of the dinosaur, so the future usability factor is questionable.
Other Thoughts: I found one with a parallel port as well from a USA seller for less right after I ordered these. But they seem to be gone now, and I didn't really need an extra parallel port, so this was fine.
Bottomline: If you're hooking up a lot of devices that require serial port (RS232) connectivity, this makes some sense to get, I'd imagine :)
Pros: Unlike the usb adapter I bought (although good, see my review of it) this works with everything, all my satellite equipment, everything!Has 2 ports.Drivers come on a small CD.Easy to install.
Cons: The only fault I can find with this product is that the edges of the pcb are a little rough, this isn't really a fault and to be honest it's nit picking. It's a great product.
Other Thoughts: Works well with everything I have thrown at it.
Bottomline: I challenge you to find this product cheaper (I couldn't) Thanks DealExtreme, VERY Happy with this purchase.
