Which USB-to_serial adapter are you using? I imagine it comes with
drivers for the Mac. Humanware technical support seemed to think my
BrailleNote mPower DBC would work with the Mac. In fact, it turned out
that the reason we couldn't use bluetooth was that there weren't drivers
for this particular version of the Braille Note and bluetooth. Hopefully
we'll have better luck with the adapter.
Thanks,
John
