Windows 11 Compatibility Tested: RS232 Cable Surprises In the realm of legacy tech, the RS232 cable remains a curious relic-a bridge between past and present. When testing the CableCreation USB to RS232 Serial Cable 3M (DB9 adapter, PL2303 chipset), we expected a smooth transition to Windows 11. Instead, the cable unveiled a quiet rebellion: it worked flawlessly, bypassing the usual driver nightmares that haunt older peripherals. Its 10-foot length and robust DB9 adapter made it a reliable companion for devices like cash registers and CNC machines, proving that even retro tech can coexist with modern operating systems. But the journey wasn't just about cables. Alongside the RS232 adapter, we tested Avery 12 Tab Dividers and Avery 8 Tab Dividers-two contenders in the world of document organization. The 12-tab version offered vibrant, customizable color options, ideal for projects demanding visual hierarchy. The 8-tab model, with its clear label strips, excelled in simplicity and versatility, making it a favorite for quick edits. While neither directly related to the RS232 cable, their inclusion underscored a broader truth: compatibility isn't just about hardware; it's about how tools adapt to evolving systems. In the end, the RS232 cable surprised us with its quiet resilience, while the Avery dividers reminded us that even mundane tools can spark innovation. Whether bridging generations or sorting pages, these products revealed that compatibility isn't about erasing the past-it's about giving it a place in the present.
