Hi Danny,
Did you mean to post a link?
We have a guide on the wiki which should help you choose a USB-Serial adapter. They are not all created equal.

Hard to say with that one. There is a good chance it will work, as we've made improvements to the software since the 'early' days to make it compatible with a wider variety of adapters.
You can ask the seller to identify what chipset the adapter uses, or point you to the drivers for the cable, which could tell you the same info.

Glad to hear you have some success with this.
Here is a link to the one I use, works perfectly for my Acer laptop running XP http://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-RS232-Conve ... B00077DJIQ
Slightly more expensive than yours but handy for people to know what else works as so many seem to have problems with this.
