Using SIO2PC on a Mac (w/VPC) with a USB-to-serial adapter

[liquidcross]

Has anyone done this successfully? I'm waiting for my SIO2PC interface to arrive in the mail; I've already got the USB-to-serial adapter, and I'm running Virtual PC 6.1 under Mac OS X 10.3.3. I installed the SIO2PC software into a DOS shell in VPC. The Mac recognizes the USB-to-serial adapter, but it's not showing up under the COM port list in VPC. Is there another step I need to take first?

 

Thanks in advance!

Liquidcross,

 

It's also on my list of things to do so let me know if it worked out okay with you.

 

Also, SIO2LINUX does exist !

As you know, OS X is heavily based on Linux so a SIO2MAC interface is not something impossible down the road (that leaves only the cable issue to be resolved -> how compatible with real Atari hardware can be a USB to Serial Adapter ?).

 

AB.

 

P.S.: Steven, any opinion ?
