The USB to serial adapter using the FT232RL is well tested and it is compatible with most serial devices on the market and has been tested with several GPS and PDA devices such as Garmin, Mallagan as well as the Palm. Note also that the USB to serial adpater is USB port powered with auto detection of data speed.
It was one of the earliest computer communication devices, used to attach teletypewriters for an operator console. It was also an early hardware system for the Internet. The electric signaling levels are handled by a driver circuit external to the UART. Two common signal levels are RS-232, a 12-volt system, and RS-485, a 5-volt system.
The Thunderlinx USB to Serial adapter is most probably the most well known USB to serial adpater that uses the FT231X processor. This USB to Serial adapter converts serial data to USB data and vice versa. There are a few advantages to this newer technology as have been explained below and may be of interest to you if you are in a complex environment.
FT231X USB to Serial Adapter
You will note that the FT231X processor which is manufactured by FTDI Semiconductors is a much newer as well as a much optimised version of the rather popular FT232RL processor. This processor is more reliable as well as having the ability to access the memory as well as address it as the processor uses MTP memory and no EEPROM. The LED lights up when connected to the USB port. There is also the ability to add additional power to the adapter neing a 5V DC on pin 9 and it is limited to around 450mA which will not damage your USB port if something goes wrong. Data transfer rates are up to 921,600 bps (auto detection of data speed + (up to 3 Mbps by using alising)), multiple indication LED lights as well as being USB port powered makes for a great FT231X USB to serial adapter.

The FT232RL USB to Serial Adapter is about a third of the price compared to the FT231X USB to serial adapter and does not have as many options however for a simple environment this will work well enough. Both chips are made by FTDI. There are driver below for MAC Linux as well as all version of Windows. We need to compare the two and see what the difference in price will make and then decide from there as to which one you would really prefer.

The Pro mini version is very cheap and it does come with LED lights to show activity but it is not as advanced compared to others such as those with the FT231X USB to serial adapter which has a better range of LED indicator lights. Unlike others this adapter is very small and portable but has no extension cable as it is only the adapter. Once you have installed the drivers the serial port is automatically configured as an additional COM port which shows up in your operating system’s Device Manager. You can see more here. How to troubleshoot a USB port is also explained.
