When comparing to others selling on - I make SIO connectors using a resin printer for superior quality compared to the others producing 3D FDM printed connectors! All crimp connectors are soldered and crimped for superior dependability.
FT232RL chipset – uses CTS control. Works great with other devices on the Atari bus, including the 1050 diskette drive.
Tested with Win11, Win10, Mac OS Ventura – Win11 requires driver download from ftdichip website.
