eBay Score: Keyspan USA-28XG 2 port Serial

[olePigeon]

After probably buying $30 worth of materials in many, many failed attempts to make a custom serial cable to connect to my USB Serial adapter, I finally got a lucky bid on a Tripplite (Keyspan) 28XG dual serial port for $30 with free shipping.

This one is supposed to be 10.6 compatible (they have drivers for 64-bit Snow Leopard.)

So I should be able to use it with my normal Mac serial cable without any modifications.

Only problem is the guy's in China, but he did have 2300+ positive. Guess I'll find out.

It usually turns out well. These guys in China have the number 1 goal of making sure that we're satisfied with the purchase because eBay is how they make all of their income. The guy I bought from had over 20,000 positive feedback. Yeah, 20k. 8-o

Son of a b*tch. He or she sent me a USA-28 not a USA-28XG. I specifically asked if it was a 28XG, the drivers for 10.6 don't with the 28 model. :disapprove:

Argh! I feel like I'm never going to get my IIe card bootstrapped.

Well, he's a good seller anyway. Issued me a full refund and told me to keep the old adapter. I might find a use for it on one of my OS 9 G4s.
