[RTTY] USB DIGI KEYER II

Some microHAM devices, specifically USB interface II and USB Interface
III which do not use internal microprocessors, function as USB-serial
and (in the case of USB Interface III) USB Audio Class devices under
LINUX and MacOS.

In addition, for well over five years some Apple developers wrote their
applications to directly address the microprocessor (controller) in the
microHAM "keyer" interfaces.  As far as I know, at least one still does.
In any case the microHAM factory continues to work with third party
developers who wish to support the microHAM "Keyer" family in their
products but since Apple does not have a common "serial" interface
and microHAM do not have any programmers versed in *NIX or the Mac OS,
microHAM do not have the resources to build a MacOS platform for the
[relatively] limited market - particularly since the existing Windows
based platform (and applications) functions under Boot Camp or Windows
emulation.
