 Electronics : Targus PA090U USB Mobile Port Replicator with Ethernet |
|
Rating:  - Money Better spent elsewhere
Tried using with an XP SP2 laptop. The device could not maintain a connection to attached peripherals. Purchased specifically for the parallel port function which would fail during transmit. LOOK FOR ANOTHER OPTION
Rating: - It's a piece of s***. Don't buy it.
In order to use an external PS/2 keyboard and mouse using this thing, I have to: 1) unplug the Targus from the laptop; 2) disconnect the mouse and keyboard from the Targus; 3) boot the laptop; 4) wait for the login screen; 5) plug in the Targus and wait for it to come up; 6) plug in the mouse and keyboard; 7) THEN I can sit down and log in.
Disgusting. Anything is better than this.
Rating: - Do NOT buy this port replicator!
NO Support from Targus.
Doesn't work correctly with the ethernet connection.
Can't find out if it actually supports USB 2.0- probably does not, from what I've managed to find.
I did finally get the ps/2 and keyboard ports to work, which is what I really wanted/needed it for.
I purchased this from an amazon reseller, and I'll try (yeah, right) to return it. What a piece of junk. Mine came used, scratched, with no original driver disc.
Rating: - No suppport at Targus
I tried to use this with XP - forget it! No drivers at Targus, their search did not even find the hub! Most of the connections kind of worked, but not the serial port which was what I wanted to use it for in the first place since my notebook has none and I needed to support my Palm Pilot.
I at least expected a support note, but came up with zip. If this is the way they support their products I won't buy a Targus brand product again. Don't waste your time.
Rating:  - Very handy device
I bought two of these, one for home and one for the office for my Dell laptop. Works like a champ with USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard. In addition to these two, at the office I use the network port and at home the parallel port. Plugging in one cable instead of three plus reducing clutter on my desk are very nice. I did have to download the 2.3 driver from Targus. It worked better than the 2.4 driver that came in the package.
