VirtualPC on MacOS X and keyspan USA19QW USB to Serial adapter

Posts: 46,084
Dear All,
I am having troubles to communicate with a BS2 running VirtualPC, emulating
windows XP on MacosX 10.2.8
Messing around, I managed to detect the keyspan within Virtual PC's keyspan
serial assistant on Com 3 and eventually it passes the first tests when
reducing to 8 bit and 9600 etc. but it looses the connection quite promptly
before even trying to use the BAsic Stamp Editor.
I can identify the BS2 on com3 within the BStamp editor but fails to download
and then can't find the port.
Any hints?
Some facts,
I can access the BS2 with MAcBS2 from MacosX
Virtual PC can only detect the keyspan if I uninstall the keyspan from MacosX,
restart. Then wait until VirtualPC/XP detects the new hardware and then
activate the USB devices on Settings *keyspan USA-19W and the USB apple.
COM port options on Settings are not activated.
The Com 3 detection seems quite flicky
On a PC everything works pretty smoothly but we only have macs here...
Help is very much appreciated.
