Thanks Rob,

Here’s why I’m perplexed:

1.  My Serial to USB adapter (a 15 year old Keyspan) works fine under Windows.
2.  Using kStars on my Mac, I just keep getting the message “no response from
Maxdome.”  
3.  I’ve downloaded and tried about 3 different drivers for the Keyspan to no
avail on the Mac side.
4..  So I surmise it’s either the Mac driver for the adapter OR the Maxdome II
driver from INDI, which comes with the kStars download.
5.  Assuming that the INDI driver is good, that leads me to try to find a newer
adapter;  just because it works with one set of hardware and software, it’s not
a given that such adapter will work for something different.  Am I wrong?

So…is there a Mac Serial-to-USB adapter that you would recommend?  Or any other
advice?  Or do you know of anyone using Maxdome with kStars on a Mac?

Many thanks again,
Stan
