Hal,

I no longer need or use the Keyspan Serial to USB Adapter and noticed the driver installer does not have an uninstall option. I have looked and cannot find where the driver may be installed. 

My assumption was it would be in Macintosh HD/Library/Extensions and that folder is empty. Please let me know if you can find where 'they' installed the Keyspan driver?

I never tried to use the Keyspan with Lion.  The USA-28A adapter became history before I updated to Lion.

Replacing the old Keyspan USA-28A with a direct USB connection between the iMac and the Kenwood TS-590S solved all kinds of communications issues. With the Keyspan I was limited to 9600 baud rate and now with a direct USB connection I can use the Kenwood at its factory 115200 baud rate. I don't know if faster is really better but at least I am no longer restricted to 9600.
