I am using an iMac 2.66ghz with 10.6.3 (64 bit Snow Leopard w/latest updates) and MacLoggerDX with my K3. I have a cheap USB to serial cable purchased on eBay for US6.50, and free shipping. It utilizes the Prolific chipset. Seller was Sureelectronics.
I recently purchased a new one to replace a version that was 2 years old. I had a thumbscrew break off during a shack reorganization (my fault). They are not always iinline, and care is need when connecting to the K3. I would not recommend these if you are removing the cable often. >From a software point of view, there have been no problems.
