[Ham-Mac] USB to Serial Ports

[Steve Hellyer]

Bob,

My advice... Return it and buy one of these.
http://www.keyspan.com/products/usa19hs/

If it doesn't come with an installer for Mac OS X then it likely not  
what you want.
Keyspan has some great drivers which to be honest is much more  
important that the hardware part.

Bad drivers can cause severe problems with your computer as they  
attach to OS kernel. It not worth it risk in my opinion.
