USB to RS-232 Adapter – Macintosh or Windows

Converts a Macintosh or PC USB port to a male DE-9, RS-232 connector. This, coupled with one of the null modems above, will complete the circuit from a modern Mac or PC that only has USB ports to an Apple II. This adapter is approximately 3 feet long, and each adapter sold is tested specifically with ADTPro to ensure compatibility.

This adapter uses the FTDI chipset, not the lower-cost Prolific chipset which is usually poorly cloned in other very low-cost adapters. The FTDI chipset has proven to be much more reliable, and is the reason we stock this specific one.

Drivers for Mac, Linux, and Windows are available from the manufacturer’s website.
