    Justin,

    ·· I cannot answer for Mac compatibility, but I can tell you that the Belkin adapters do not work on the BASIC Stamps.· No customer that ever contacted Tech Support has been able to get these to work.··Your best bet is an FTDI-based adapter, such as the ones we carry.· These have Mac drivers and are known to work with the BASIC Stamps.· I hope this helps.· Take care.

    You'll probably get a better response to this question if you ask the author of Mac BS2 directly www.muratnkonar.com/otherstuff/macbs2/index.shtml

    That's great!· Unfortunately though there are so many who cannot that we cannot list them as a workable option.· Take care.
