Juergen Bosch and Ben Eisenbraun were quick to forward my request to
Dave Gohara who's at WUSTL now. Dave was equally quick in pointing out
that a universal binary of the USB-to-serial driver resides on his
homepage (http://smackfumaster.com) in the Software -> Crystallography
and EM Binaries section. Thank you!
All it takes is installing the driver, rebooting, and plugging the
adapter and dials in. Now I just have to find out which programs will
actually take orders from dials.

Hey all,
I've been trying to get SGI dials to work with a MacBook Pro running
Leopard. I can't get my digitus USB-to-serial adaptor to work. The
supplied driver is PPC only. As the chip is from Prolific, I tried the
driver from sbgrid (David Gohara's work). That also seems to be PPC only.
I tried to contact David Gohara directly, but he doesn't appear to be at
Harvard anymore. Does anyone have dials working with a Leopard Intel
Mac and would like to let me in on the secret?
I should probably be using a PowerMate, but the dials were lying around
collecting dust. I thought I might give them a second lease on life.
Thanks.
Andreas
