Parallax USB to Serial (RS-232) Adapter - will it help my USB/Serial issues?
I want to know if the Parallax USB to Serial (RS-232) Adapter will solve the problem I'm having with my current USB/serial cable.
I am having a real beast of a time getting my RS serial/usb cable to work on my mac and my Stamp Activity Kit board. The same board works fine in windows and my usb BOE board works fine on the mac.
I have tried all of the drivers I can find but it still will not recognize it in MacBS2.
Am I missing something? Any troubleshooting advice?
Will the device in the post topic eliminate the need for the USB/serial driver on the mac? I'm not sure exactly how it works.
I have two new RF transceivers that I'm itching to get talking to each other.
Thanks in advance.

Some other cables work and others are known to not work so the safest method is to get the Parallax product.
Someone else with a mac may chime in with some mac specific troubleshooting tips.

The fact it is specifically designed for Parallax probably makes it worth the buy. Good point.
That should give me the best shot to get it working anyway.
Thanks again.
Also a big thanks to all you contribute here. I have been reading the forums here for a while and you're input is greatly appreciated.
