[Ham-Mac] Does the RIGblaster Data Jack Plug & Play Complete work with MacOS X?

I am considering buying one of these RIGblaster Data Jack Plug & Play devices
for rig control and sound card interfacing (CW keying would be nice, too).
The intention is to connect it to an IC-7000 and IC-7600.

West Mountain Radio seems squeamish about claiming its MacOS X drivers actually work.

Can anyone on the list confirm that the software for the product actually performs on MacOS X
as it does on Windows? I'm running MacOS X 10.6.6 on a 17-inch MacBook Pro and an iMac.

Finally, for extra credit, I have two RIGtalk USB Cat connection devices that no longer work
(an OS upgrade a year ago or so killed them). Is anybody using these successfully on MacOS X 10.6.* ?
The "stick of gum" size of these devices is very attractive for DXpeditions. But, right now they are useless
lumps. Installing the latest Silicon Labs drivers was fruitless.

{sigh}

Thanks for any feedback. 73 de NE1RD
