[Elecraft] Re: Help -- stuck in MCU LD -- SOLVED

That may have been the problem, although it has worked without a hitch  
for several updates.  After getting the radio working again with  
Windows, I reloaded the Prolific drivers on the Mac, and fiddled a bit  
more.  Then everything on the Mac was back to normal, too.

Just one of those things.  There are a lot of brand names of USB/ 
Serial converters.   Don't know about the Keyspan version, but a large  
number of these things,  regardless of brand,  use the same Prolific  
chip, perhaps with different drivers.

Anyway, it's working.  I am going to go hunting for a different  
interface, however, if the problem reoccurs.  It's too much hassle to  
drag out the old Windows PC :)

Thanks ... Grant/NQ5T
