I bought the card to connect my ham transceiver to my Windows 7 computer after my USB converter would not work with Windows 7. The card arrived promptly and installed correctly. It has functioned without a glitch. On the negative side, the card cost a bit more than I expected and the connecting cable was not shipped with the card so I had to wait a few days more for the cable.

Bought this card as I needed two com ports to control my ham equipment with my new windows 7 computer. Installed with no problem with Windows 7 Home and worked perfectly. Very happy with the card and didn't have to use USB to serial adapters.
