+Ripdubski Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm trying to get OSX 10.9 (mavericks) to recognize the SIO2PC/10502PC Dual device. The kext file is present, but not loaded after boot. I can load it. However I cannot seem to get OSX to create the /dev/tty.usbserial so the AspeQt, SIO2OSX, or SIOServer programs can use it. If I look in System Profiler I see the device on one of the USB ports. Whats the trick to getting OSX to see the device correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogden Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I installed the drivers from FTDI: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18.dmg And the device I end up with is /dev/tty.usbserial-A40082ol instead of /dev/tty.usbserial Just do a quick "ls /dev/tty.usb*" from terminal to make sure it's there. I also have a tty.serial1 because my Hackintosh actually has a supported serial port. --Kevin Edited October 14, 2014 by kogden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ripdubski Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thx, I looked at the docs, and they were not exactly clear to me. The start says nothing about 10.9 compatability, but then there is a section for it, in which they say the driver ships from Apple (which I read doesn't work right). I'll go through the motions tonight and hopefully won't much my system up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kogden Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I've tested this on 10.6.8 through 10.9.4. The driver works great in Mavericks. Apparently it's 64-bit clean. "FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6_10_7" is the install package you want to run on that DMG. Don't run the one for Panther. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 You have the proper USB to Serial adapter with the FTDI chipset? Think I still have mine somewhere I no longer use. Worked great with my Macs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 32 and 64 bit download links hit the same download on their site. I got it working and booted my 130 with the SIO2PC/10502PC 3 dual adapter. Thx for the help.

kogden Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Sweet! I should probably write a little tutorial on getting an SIO2PC rig going on a Mac. Info is pretty scarce on the Mac side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
