The driver I use is the Mac OS X FTDIUSBSerial driver for FTDI's FT2232C, FT232BM, FT245BM, FT8U232AM and FT8U245AM devices from FTDI.<div><br></div><div>The issue defined below was helpful. Following is excerpted from: <a href="http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/1433">MAC OSX 10.9.1 Yaesu VX-7R Upload Fails</a></div><div><div><div id="change-4123" class="journal has-notes"><div class="wiki" id="journal-4123-notes"><p>Again, chirp itself should not "freeze" or lockup your computer. It might crash or lockup chirp the program, <font color="#ff2600">but if your entire computer is locked up, chances are, this is a bug or bad design with the hardware driver</font>. (Usually only hardware or hardware drivers can make the whole OS unstable). </p><div>Like the Redmine issue report above states the driver is at fault and not CHIRP. That is good to know.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks…….</div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div><div><div>On Feb 28, 2014, at 8:10 PM, Jens J. <<a href="mailto:kd4tjx@yahoo.com">kd4tjx@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: 'lucida console', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; position: static; z-index: auto;"><div><span>sounds familiar.
