      In My Experience - MOST USB/SERIAL adapters work OK   
      in PI/OS. I think, despite brand names, there are only   
      a few actual chip-sets.   
      
      While Amazon reviews are a bit suspect, still DO   
      read them, with particular attention to Linux   
      remarks   
      
      IF you get stuck having to load virtual Winders   
      drivers ... then you haven't chosen wisely   
      
      Pi's can also do RS-232 directly. A bit less civil,   
      but it works.
