An RT Systems cable did not work with my Mac. It only works with their software. I returned it and got a different FTDI cable.
RT Systems seem to provide Mac drivers now, but I’d still stay away. RT Systems has programmed their FTDI chip to give a different ID, so other drivers won’t work with it. Mac OS already includes drivers for FTDI chips. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On May 17, 2019, at 12:20 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX <[email protected]> wrote: > > The cables from R T Systems are certainly reliable and affordable as well. > Plus if you have a question, you can call them and they will talk you through > the issue. > > 73 > > Bob, K4TAX > > On 5/17/2019 2:07 PM, Tox wrote: >> This. >> >> I have spent enough time fightingg "prolific" cables that proved to have >> fake chips that it is far cheaper to just buy the keyspan unit, install the >> ftdi driver, and have it Just Work (modulo variability in Port naming). >> >> Chuck the prolifics, get a genuine ftdi (the keyspan unit is a great >> choice).
