SIV by Ray Hinchliffe. 'System Information Viewer' is a general Windows utility for displaying lots of useful Windows, Network and hardware info - CPU info, PCI info, PCMCIA info, USB info SMBus info, SPD info, ACPI methods, Machine info, Hardware Sensors, Networked computers, Operating System Information and more. SIV is designed for Windows 10, 8.1, 8.0, 7, Vista, XP, 2012, 2008, 2003, 2000 and NT4. Windows 95, 98 and Me are also supported.

SiSoftware Sandra is a 32 and 64-bit Windows system analyser that includes benchmarking, testing and listing modules. It tries to go beyond other utilities to show you more of what is really going on under the hood so you draw comparisons at both a high and low-level in a single product.

The DialOut/EZ Redirector lets your applications use modems provided by modem servers on your network.  This redirector does this by creating one or more virtual COM ports that make these networked modems appear to be connected to the local computer, even though they are physically located on servers.

MacDrive gives you hassle-free, seamless access to Mac files on Mac disks directly from Windows. You can open, edit and save files on Mac disks, as well as create new disks and repair damaged ones. MacDrive is like having a Mac interpreter in your PC.

Firewalls and antivirus software are no defense against acts of data theft and corruption from within your organization at local endpoints. You don't have to be an administrator to connect a small digital camera, MP3 player, or flash memory stick to the USB and begin uploading or downloading whatever you want. If you are a system administrator, you know you can't manage such device-level activity via Group Policy.

Serial Monitor is a brilliant balance of the product functionality and price. It's just an invaluable tool for all software and hardware developers working with serial ports. The full set of features and maximum product functionality will save a lot of your time while working with serial ports.

DeviceIOView allows you to watch the data transfer between a software or service and a device driver (DeviceIoControl calls). For each call to a device driver, the following information is displayed: Handle, Control Code, number of input bytes, number of output bytes, the name of the device handle, and all the input/output bytes, displayed as Hex dump.

This small freeware utility will try to install generic Microsoft driver for your bluetooth adapter. The program is based on a widely known method of patching %WinDir%\inf\bth.inf file. It works for most (but not all) bluetooth adapters, both USB dongles and built-in. (See the list of bluetooth devices and hardware IDs known to work. Note that this list is not exhaustive.)

The Serial/IP Redirector lets your applications use serial devices provided by serial device servers on your network.  This redirector does this by creating one or more virtual COM ports that make these networked serial devices appear to be connected to the local computer, even though they are physically located on servers.

New version! - Serial to Ethernet Connector is an advanced software-based solution that allows you to share more than 255 serial port devices over network easily turning your computer into low-cost terminal server. Thus, any serial port device connected to your COM port could be accessed from anywhere in the world (via Internet or LAN) as if it is attached directly to the remote PC.

New version! - The Amiga Explorer networking software makes it possible to access the resources of an Amiga computer from one or more Windows systems. Configuration is extremely simple and by default requires only a few mouse clicks on the Windows side.

New version! - BlueSoleil 8 based on BlueSoleil 6's features takes advantage of Bluetooth v3.0 High Speed technology. The data transfer rate is about 26Mbps. What's more, this new version has done a lot of functional improvement and performance optimization.

Here's a quick look at some Thunderbolt solutions I've been testing in my lab. In this video, you'll see an Apple MacBook Air 13" running Windows 7 64bit via Boot Camp with an activeThunderbolt port connected to Sonnet Chassis with a RED Rocket installed delivering full 4K playback on Ultra Lightweight notebook.

Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control is a powerful component by Eltima Software, that allows your application to create custom additional virtual serial ports and fully control them. Created virtual ports look and behave exactly like real serial ones, and not a single Windows application will recognize the difference.

Advanced COM Port Redirector is a professional Windows application that allows you to redirect all data sent from one serial port to any other serial port no matter whether first port is virtual or real one. Second port, created by this program, is an absolute copy of the first communication port (except its name) and is located on the same computer.
