Works fine . I used it with a brand new laptop that has Vista, connected a printer which on other laptops has needed drivers installing, and it worked immediately. That probably has more to do with Vista but the adapter certainly works fine.

Cons Review
Ok for Windows laptops but doesn't work for Mac OS X . I bought this for my Powerbook G3 Lombard running OS 10.2.8 because the USB 1.1 ports are simply too slow for transferring large files. The product specs indicate it should be plug and play for G3 or faster machines running OS X, but it doesn't do anything when I put it in. My computer recognizes that the card is in and that it's a USB card, but it says "Unknown Vendor" in the menu bar. When I attach a USB jump drive to the card nothing happens. I tried it on a friend's Powerbook G4 and the card caused the computer to freeze. I've also tried it on a Dell laptop running Windows 2000 and it works perfectly. I was able to transfer 100 MB of data at 2.0 speeds. So the card works, just not on Macs. I finally emailed tech support but all they could tell me was to check for any USB updates on the Apple website, and if that didn't work, to return the product to Amazon. Looks like I need to try another manufacturer ...
