Upgraded to a new PC - came with Vista and none of the attached devices that I've had running just fine with XP work any more. That's progress I guess. Most irritatingly, the drivers for the serial-USB link to my Garmin Foretrex 201 would not install with Vista - grrrr.
Anyway, quick search on the web, came across this converter, and it works just fine. Connection dropped out apparently due to data errors a couple of times which I've not seen with my previous converter into XP, but I'm up and running again at a very reasonable cost indeed.

I bought this product to allow me to use my xbox through my pc speakers and monitor and its great! For 1p you'd think you cant go wrong!
But do be advised that although the product is 1p, the p&p is about £5 - you may be able to get them cheaper from a local shop? I didnt look into it, cause im lazy and paid the price. in addition, i find the ports a little stiff so to speak, in agreement with another review, meaning you do have to give it a good push to get your jack in ;)
At the end of the day though, it does what it says, and now i can switch between xbox and 360 with ease, as well as have sound playing at the same time for both. YAY!

Been using it to charge up some electronic items I brought back from the US and it does the job fine (certainly costs a lot less than if I'd bought them over here, but that's another thing). Agree with the comments that it weighs a ton, but it's not really a problem - though can't comment on the power issues some have had as I've only been using low current devices.

After buying the wrong adapter 3 times, I went for this one mainly because it was so cheap and if it was the wrong one again, well the price wouldn't hurt. Use it to connect my Xbox 360 to my 37" Philips LCD via the DVI slot. I get excellent HD gaming and have had no problems with it despite continuous usage for quite a while - highly recommended!

I was quite impressed about this product, once you get over the P&P charge. It's really good! There is a red light indicating when the product is on, and four green lights which light up and indicate the ports that are in use. There is about half a cm gap between each port, which isn't much, but it's good if your memory stick is slim. Cables aren't really an issue, it's plenty of space for several usb cables.
Beware that the mains plug is a massive bulky box, which was a bit of trouble inserting into to an extension cable full of plugs, but no worries otherwise.
I read in another review that it didnt shut down with the computer, mine was fine with this problem. I'm running windows XP on a Dell and it's perfectly fine.

The adaptor is fine. However it was delivered in a box the size of two shoe boxes. It could easily have fitted in an A5 envelope. Shame on you Amazon.
