<p>I don't know if it does or not. Unfortunately I've misplaced the CD (I just downloaded the drivers from their site instead), or I would check. 409Shop didn't have them on their site, but you should be able to get the driver from the Prolific website. Here's the link: <a href="http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31">http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31</a></p>
<p>Note that it's a PL2303 chip (I messed up the chipset name in my original email).</p>

Does their driver CD come with drivers for OS X? Just wondering as I use a mac and this looks like a great setup with cables!<br>
