While buying from SP road it is better to go with a laptop and check out the
hardware.
Once I bought a Baffo (maybe wrong name) USB to Serial adaptor and later
found
it to not work because it wanted drivers(M$ support only), later I figured
out that
that there are duplicate low cost version of baffo without any chip(like the
win modems)
which need drivers to work with windows.  The hardware might look and be
packed the
same, but might be duplicate's and only some vendors will inform about them
being
cheap lookalikes(that works(on windows alone)).
