USB to serial in Win 8 / 2012 x64

I bought a few adapter now claiming they are compatible, but they aren't. Can anyone suggest an adapter which 100% works on Win8/2012 x64 ?

This one has worked well for me Amazon.com: TRENDnet USB to RS-232 Serial Converter TU-S9 (White): Electronics, just reset a password on a Cisco ASA 5510 from my Surface with it the other day

Thanks. Good price on Amazon in the UK as well. Ordered that one. Fingers crossed.

You can get the driver here PL-2303H / 2303HX / 2303HXD Drivers | Prolific USA though it should auto install

I can 2nd the Trendnet cables and drivers. Ran into this same situation when Win 7 came out, and the only one that worked flawlessly was the ones from Trendnet.

The real question is why we still need serial to access devices in 2013.

That's a whole different question.
