[Elecraft] K3 FIRMWARE UPDATE - non wintel software?

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Obviously I can't speak for all of them, but my KUSB uses the Prolific
chipset. And is 6 feet long.

   Hi David,

   If the microHam Mac drivers allow you to create
   virtual serial ports that are recognized by OS X, then
   the digi keyer should work w/o any need for the KUSB.
   If not, then you'll need the KUSB. I'm not sure what
   chipset the KUSB uses, but there should be OS X
   drivers available. I'm using Keyspan USB to serial
   devices.

   I've tested on 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. Should work on
   10.2 also. But everyone should upgrade to Leopard
   (10.5). It's way cool.

   David, W4SMT
