yes, ive got one, works ok.

Does the job, but can be tricky to get working, force it to be COM1, and you have a chance.

I just bought a U380 for 15 plus 6 delivery on ebay.

Basic, but works fine and EML light now off, and that is despite me being a TOTAL non techie.......

So much so that the wife insisted on being stood next to me with a fire extinguisher whilst i connected it to the MV6....
