[chirp_users] Cannot get BF-F8HP Radio to communicate with Mac OS 10.8.5

[Tom Massoll]

Bob,
Where would I start, I've tried chirp on two different Mac's and I believed I was using the correct drivers for each machine (each has different OS versions). I've gone to Miklor.com as well and believed I had the correct drivers per each respective operating system. Any other source I overlooked?
