I use the Belkin F5U409v1, it has worked perfectly on every laptop I have tried it on.

Only the IOGEAR one has a built in buffer, that is why it is better.
The other is only a cable.

funny you posted that, it's the one I got from walmart like 5 years ago to use with my megasquirt...
So far I've used it on the MS and PFC, 5 differant laptops with XP and 7 and have never needed to load extra drivers.

I can never get the blue ended longer cables that the other guys have to work (and I told scott I think they suck anyway)

I got mine from walmat but I just looked and they don't carry it in the store anymore.
