Thanks Dar, I should probably have referred to this explicitly. I know that there's been lots of correspondence from people using Keyspan and similar devices to provide a serial port on a machine with only USB; but I think that these devices come with software that makes the 'shim' so that applications (including MetaCard) see a conventional serial port, and never have to deal with it as a USB device. In terms of explicitly talking to a USB device, everyone who asks is told to use the "open driver" command; but followup questions about what to pass to it - ie the driverName - appear to have gone unanswered. People seem to have tried the name appearing in Apple System Profiler, and the name of the driver in the extensions folder, without success. Has anyone managed this - and if so what's their recipe?
