Lame!! Adapters

List of Adapters known not to work.

Technically all adapters should work, however some lame adapters don't burn a serial # to the chip. The serial # is the attribute that is unique to just that adapter. With no serial number it becomes difficult to identify that adapter uniquely, so mapping it to a friendly predictable name (and associated TELNET port etc.) becomes difficult.

The listing below shows adapters / chipsets that don't present a serial #

Some Adapters have software utilities making it possible to burn a serial #, if adding to this list please make that note.

Recommended / Known Working Adapters

Adapters based on the Following chipset vendors present a serial #:

  • FTDI

    I only purchase serial adapters based on FTDI chipsets, others can add to this if they have adapters they know work

Lame, Cheap, annoying adapters that don't present a serial

  • Prolific Technology PL2303 Serial Port (Generic)
