Nowhere on the packaging or documentation does it state what chip is in use, and nor would this information mean anything to most end users

10 thumbs up & 8 thumbs down

A pop quiz for the 8 downvoters: Here are some USB-serial adaptors on sale.

Can anyone one of those 8 downvoters care to tell me:

- what chipset each one uses and

- whether the chipset is genuine

If you cannot answer either of these two questions, how can you make a valid decision on whether to purchase that device?
