[chirp_users] Mac driver issues SCU-18

[Aubrey Turner]

Actually, the cable is genuine and is sold by Yaesu.

I thought something about this was familiar, so I did a bit of searching.

I found a thread from February of last year on this list regarding 
someone trying to get this cable working with Linux.  What we learned is 
that it contains an FTDI chipset, but it's using a custom ID so that the 
standard FTDI drivers won't load.  Unfortunately, this also means that 
it most likely won't work for Mac, either.  As far as we could tell, 
only Windows drivers are provided for this specific cable.

Here's part of the thread:

If you could somehow get the FTDI driver to recognize the RATOC-specific 
IDs, you might have a chance.  But as far as I can tell, no one as done 
this.
