Interesting. The first link claims support for "Apple OS-8, OS-9, OS- 
X". It's been called MacOS for over a decade now....

The second link has Windows and Linux drivers featured, but if you  
click on the link for "other", it forbids you access. I suspect the  
MacOS X drivers may be mythical.

I think I'll stick with my Keyspan for a while yet. But 8 serial  
ports sounds interesting. I just which they'd start making rigs and  
other equipment with USB interfaces instead of serial.
