I used this dongle to successfully connect my SmartCom and Luna computers using Windows 7 running under Parrallels. Let windows pick the drivers instead of using those supplied by the manufacturer.

I got this to sync my diving computer to the windows vmware on my mac and it did the job.
I have a SubGear XP10.

Would never pay the price for the Uwatec proprietary USB IR device. This device is worth every penny. Migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7 a few years ago and had to find an alternative to the last device I bought (which unfortunately didn’t have drivers for Windows 7). This one is truly plug and play for Windows 7 (Home Premium 64-bit). SmartTrack software worked flawlessly with it. Would recommend to anybody that has a Uwatec SmartCom dive computer.

Bought this one to down load to my Galileo Sol dive computer. Worked right away with no problems. Lots cheaper that the one from ScubaPro.

The product worked right out of the box, no issues. I was using a Dell XPS with Windows 8. Connected to my Galileo Sol with no issues.
