impossible. The Manhattan USB to Serial Converter — with its serial RS232 (DB9) port and

Prolific PL-2303RA chipset — easily expands a single USB port to connect and support

serial modems, barcode scanners, digital cameras, card readers, Ham/Amateur Radios,

GPS, CNC machines, telescopes, embroidery machines, fuel injection controllers, PDUs,

network switches and other devices.

Gold-plated contacts and rugged construction combine to offer a reliable connection

between the computer and serial peripherals for consistent, trouble-free performance.
