[Ham-Mac] QST For Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Keyspan Adapter Users

[Dick Kriss]

Thanks for the information. Tripp-Lite needs to improve how they label the
drivers as the Get Info is useless to figure out a version.

I ended up with two unzipped versions with the same filename on my hard
drive from Tripp-Lite.  The one that works is called keyspanUSAdrvr and was
created September 9, 2009 10:30 AM which I think is the same version you
included at

This driver works fine with OS X 10.6.2 and the old Keyspan USA-28X
and fldigi-3.13 for hamlib rig control of my Kenwood.
