dsmlink on mac problem conserning usb to serial cable
 
Well I am regretting getting my mac, but it's a little too late for that. I finally got dsmlink installed on my laptop and I was really excited because it wasn't easy. (macs are somewhat new to me). Anyways, my buddy sold me dsmlink and he included the $35 9 pin usb to serial cable. The cd that came with this cable is for windows 98 or greater. Unfortunately, macbooks are not "greater" haha. This is the cable I have.

I am having the same problem as this guy. I thought I'd start a new thread considering that one is a little old. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/show...ht=dsmlink+mac
I did some searching and found that I need the software for the usb installed (usually these things are automatic). This is when I found out that the cd I have is for windows 98 and greater, like I previously stated.

I found a site that explains how to download software for this cable onto the computer on http://www.improvision.com/support/t...ail.php?id=248 but that tells me to use www.keyspan.com. But after trying and failing and talking with somebody from their help line, we concluded their software will not work with this usb cable.

I would like to mention that I posted a thread on this on the dsmlink forums, and I have had very little response, which is why I'm trying this forum. http://www.dsmlink.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16379 I also noticed that there are only a couple threads having to due with macs and dsmlink, so I didn't think one more detailed one would hurt.

After searching on the forum and on google I still have a few questions:
Is there a software out there that I can download to get working with this usb?
If you are running dsmlink with a mac, what usb cable are you using?

Thanks in advance and I hope this helps anybody in the future with this problem.

Just wait for Dorris to answer on DSMLINK forums. He's the genius.
