I'm not sure what's in it, but I tried a straight USB cable and it didn't work. Attarently there's a serial chip (two?) In the cable. I'see if I can do some playing around and figure out what's in it <br><br></div>

It is best to have one using an FTDI style chip because<br>you can take advantage of the Apple native FTDI driver. Other chip<br>brands may require the purchase of 3rd party drivers.
