[Elecraft] KIO2 and KUSB for K2?

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

You must construct the special cable that is specified in the KIO2 
manual - you can make it a short one if you want.
That cable has a DE9 connector on the PC end which you can plug into a 
serial port or into a USB to serial adapter - The KUSB sold by Elecraft 
is a good choice -- if you choose another USB to serial adapter, make 
certain it uses the FTDI chipset.

Would the KUSB serial cable that is also sold by Elecraft then be needed to connect the KIO2 to the USB port on my Mac computer?  Or is there something else that would be needed?
