[Elecraft] configuration

Hello -

I am using my K2 with ATU, KIO2, and DSP with a Mac PowerBook G4 and  
a Rigblaster plus.

For software I am using MultiMode OSX, v. 5.6.0.

I don't think that there are too many people using this configuration  
and I find that trying to coordinate the instructions for the K2, the  
Rigblaster, and the laptop tends to make interfacing a bit chancy, if  
that is the word.  The Rigblaster is still something of a mystery to me.

Is there anyone in the Elecraft community using the same  
configuration?  Successfully?

Incidentally, I am also using MacLogger DX4 with no problem.

I have two 4 port USB hubs daisy chained which gives me seven USB  
ports which I find necessary with the other things I have attached to  
my computer.  I use 2 USB to Serial adapters attached to the hubs -  
one to connect to the K2 and one to the Rigblaster.

I do have a PC available to interface to the K2 if need be and I may  
be forced to "revert" to using it.  I don't really mean this as a  
slam to the PC platform, however I left the Windows world over a year  
ago and have become used to the Mac world and would quite honestly  
prefer to do all my computer/radio work on the Mac platform.
