I have had good luck with all the Keyspan adapters:
<http://keyspan.com/products/homepage-Serial.spml>

Basically any USB/Serial adapter that has a driver for the Mac OS you 
are using should work.
... but MacLoggerDX does not support some of the PDA adapters.

Some more info on Mac Serial ports:

If you choose an adapter with a true RS-232 port...

... instead of a mac-type RS-422 port...

<http://keyspan.com/products/usb/usa28x/>

the cabling is simpler - but either will work.
