Re: Serial family IOkit questions

The USB to serial adapters based on the Prolific 2303 chip: there is an OSX driver for them (1.0.6) which has been taken off their site for no reason (as it works well under OSX), but which can be found on other sites as many people are using these critters in OSX (including myself) which have a very versatile baud range.

Jose.

Yes, but that's "Ultimately", given that particular Keyspan device.
I'm talking about "Theoretically", given the overall Serial family
IOkit, and the fact that it locks out those baud rates, and that
combinations of baud rate settings do really unusual things.

Given the most infinitely capable USB device, or any arbitrary serial
port under OS X, it looks as if there are, er, unusual restrictions.

I have no problem with buying any other USB serial adapter you can
recommend for my Powerbook. I've also got a PCI based Mac, if you can
recommend any PCI serial adapter that will skirt these problems then
I'll buy one of those just to see how it works. If there's any
available new from Apple Mac that addresses this, let me know.
