I've used them with the prolific chipset and with the latest drivers, 
usually have to be downloaded not on the CD, I've yet to have a problem and 
have used them for rigblasters, TS-2000, still use them for programming the 
HT's I have or have had, and mobiles  that will program with the newer 
laptops. My main station computer has built in serial ports, it's a junk 
desktop I resurrected and rebuilt but my main laptop, and netbooks have been 
used at times as well and other computers over the last few years and that's 
what I've found. I stay far away form radio shack adapters and usually get 
the mid priced ones.
