If you're going to use a USB to Serial adapter cable get a Belkin. Their'sseem to be the most reliable. Off brands have been known to not work at all with the SERT or work sporadicly.

Hinzy:

In several years of using the SERT, this adapter has never failed me:

If you purchase, just make sure you grab the latest drivers from Belkin's site!

I agree with the above. Belkin is the way to go... used their stuff for years with no problems.

For what it's worth, the HD SERT serial cable is Belkin as well.
