I purchased a USB Serial adapter cable and installed the driver for it. I am a sound/video technician and decided I wanted to figure out a way to control the shutter option on my Eiki LC-X6 projector with the click of a GO button from another program called Qlab. That’s amazing!Īnyway, I’d recommend this to anyone that needs a Mac alternative to Putty or HyperTerminal.

I plugged in my USB to serial adapter and it just popped and worked without me having to find the drivers or anything for it.

I finally decided to download the trial version and test it out. I googled here and there for a few days and kept finding forum posts from the guy that wrote Serial.

So, after that madness, I started looking for a way to get USB to serial access on our MacBooks rather than doing something like putting an old desktop next to that server. That turned into about 30 minutes of three guys scared and twitching because we didn’t know if the machine was booting or not and it doesn’t have a VGA port to plugin a monitor. The HD died on that poor old Toshiba a few months ago and left us in a world of pain because we had to reboot the Sun server a few days later and couldn’t watch to see what was happening. My company stopped using Windows laptops several years ago but, they’d been keeping one old Toshiba for years because they needed it to console a SunOS box in case of an emergency. Cisco (and other) devices with built-in USB console ports.
