Review: exactly as described, working mint.
Review: The USB mini side fits into my phone jack super snug! For the cheap price I don't think I'd find a better cord. The only downside is that the polymer wrapping seems to be a little cheap. I'm going to be careful with this one. This cable is here for a good time, not a long time.

*by A***S on 22 December 2012*

This cable works well in Linux and should work well in most any modern OS. The manufacturer provides drivers for Linux, Mac and Windows on the included mini CD and on their web site. In Linux at least, the driver is included in any kernel above 2.6.9, so no driver should need to be installed. You just plug the cable into a USB port and the system will detect it as a pl2303 device and attach it to /dev/ttyUSB0. Dmesg reports: [60253.000715] usb 4-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd [60253.086957] usb 4-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303 [60253.086962] usb 4-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [60253.086965] usb 4-1.3: Product: USB-Serial Controller D [60253.086967] usb 4-1.3: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.

When using this cable in Wine, you have to link the Linux device to the Windows serial port COM1, with the command "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1" as regular user, as mentioned at [...]. Then, any Windows software that runs in Wine should be able to access your serial device. I don't currently know of any native Linux software than can back up these Casio diaries. The 13 inches of cable in this converter were practical with the Traveling Software serial cable I used it with.
