Got it in a few days and it works very well. While I have the serial port for my K2 built and installed, just haven't tried it yet. But, everything else I have tried the F5U103 works great including GPS

A bonus with this particular adaptor is that it can be configured in a 
"DOS Box".  In other words, it can be assigned
any com port number, address, and IRQ which enables DOS programs running 
under Windows to utilize it.  I have two
of the F5U103's and use them on my notebook with CT and NA.  Of course 
they also work with any Windows app..
Some CompUSA and Best Buy stores carry them for about $70.
