Under Windows, you can use USBview.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip">http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip</a><br>
This is actually a genuine Microsoft tool, but it's almost
impossible to find on any MS site.<br>
It's too useful not to have!<br>
<br>
For Linux:-<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.kroah.com/linux-usb/">http://www.kroah.com/linux-usb/</a><br>
Is very good, but you need to build from source. In truth, it's a
modified fork of the source for the above Microsoft program.<br>
You also need to run it with root privileges, or use sudo from the
users command line, or gksu in a desktop launcher.<br>
<br>
If there is anything similar for Mac's, I have no knowledge.
Perhaps the Linux source could be persuaded to build on a Mac? But
how useful it would be, I don't know, as Mac's are based on BSD, not
Linux, the devil is in the detail etc.<br>

The cable does not know and does not care which program runs on a computer
it is plugged into.
The cable you have should work fine IF the cable hardware is supported by
MAC OS.
In linux there are commands like lsusb and lshw which would tell what USB
devicee are plugged in.
That is how I found out the type USB cable I had.
