Sorry, may be I used wrong words. But what I wanted to say is accessing the USB device as a serial device using Virtual COM Port driver.

There is no such thing as a "COM port" on a Macintosh, much less a "Virtual COM Port driver." You're thinking of PCs running Windows, which aren't the same thing at all. We use different terminology in the Macintosh world.


Does the device you want to communicate with implement the communications device class? That is, does it appear to the operating system as a serial device already? Or does it not implement the communication device class, and you're trying to figure out how to communicate with it in that case?
