Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

I love the thin 10' cable; it fits nicely into my gadgets and equipment bag. Been using for several weeks and has been dependable. Compact, functional, and versatile.

Cord works great now that i figured out how to download the drivers. Zero setup issues and easily travels in my laptop bag to university.



Cons

My putty just hangs and it's not working. This is frustrating as i was hoping to use this today to do some work. I promise to revise my rating if you can make it work.

The prolific chip is a chinese knock off that does not work with the prolific drivers. Pins 1 and 5 are reversed. They want you to go to their shady website and download a shady driver to use it.
