Which is enough to strike it from my list! I would think it would be high on Sonnet's list to fix this but they haven't yet... It seems Orange Micro has fixed the drivers so there cards now work with OSX. They do have a long history of problems with Mac drivers for many/most of their Mac products over the years.
