I've got:

1.  Many serial adapters
2.  USB 802.11b
3.  USB->3.5" IDE
4.  No name 6 in 1

All seem to work well except #2.  I did have occasional issues with #1. 
Sometimes the adapter did not support parity.  Sometimes I could not
read status of the pins via an ioctl().  Each one had a unique problem.
