If I read the installation information correctly, it will install as
an RS-232 driver on the PC. If I'm going to have to install RS-232
drivers, I might as well use an external USB to RS232 adapter and
leave the adapter and the drivers on the PC. Otherwise, I could see a
situation of ending up in the future with multiple RS232 drivers and
am always fearful of driver conflict. It does save panel space but you
would have to have a larger opening to deal with the panel thickness.
