[Ham-Mac] USB - Serial

[Chris Smolinski]

This sounds like a USB/serial adapter that uses the Prolific chipset. 
There is an extension for use under classic, and an installer for 
OSX. Note that if you install under OSX, you probably can't use it 
under classic.

Also, my experience has been that Prolific based USB adapters work 
terribly on the Mac, if at all. FTDI based designs work the best, 
Keyspan adapters are not bad.
