Macintosh to Basic Stamp 1?

Posts: 46,084
Has anyone used a Macintosh to program
a Basic Stamp 1? (with Connectix Virtual PC)
The Keyspan USB to Serial Adapter
p/n: USA-19Qi works good to program the
BS2. Has anyone added a parallel
to serial converter with this device,
or found a working USB/Parallel
adapter and had success
with the BS1?

I haven't trIed this with a BS1, but the "uMater" is a USB to Parallel
converter that works perfectly under Virtual PC.
I've used it to drive a Parallel Printer, using it's native Windows Drivers
(rather than using a Mac printer, and emulating a printer in VPC), and it's
worked perfectly.
You simply install a Windows Driver for the uMater, and it turns up as
"USBLPT1".
Cheers,
