"Works Awesome - ONCE IT WORKS (VISTA)"
Pros: Cheap = $18 at Buy.Com
Cons: More than 90 Minutes with Tech Support
Summary: Great little device for under twenty bucks - but first you must load the Visa driver from the web site (search for GBU211, scroll to the bottom, and find Visa Driver); don't use the disk supplied unless you have Win XP.
Even then,you have to go in to Computer Properties, Device Manager, and load and load and load.
In the end, since I had time on my hands, it wasn't a bad deal. Now it works great on boot up - without fail. But I can't see how they are making money on a sub-18 device if they have to provide almost two hours of tech support for each purchase. I mean, Roti is not that expensive, but they still have to be paying those tech dudes and dudettes from India something. Honestly.

I went up to the IOGear website and they have no Vista drivers available. Talking to tech support they told me the dongle does not work with Vista. Apperently after one two many calls like yours, they dropped Vista support. Could I get the driver from you?
Thanks
