OK Lads,

I've read the FAQ and the web site.  My problem is not with which  
adapters work or won't work with OSX and my Elecraft K2.

My issue is with sourcing a model here in Ireland that will actually  
work with OSX..  I've scoured every computer shop I know of (both on  
and off-line) and none have either the KeySpan or IOGear brands.  So,  
following the good advice on the Dogpark web page I tried this driver:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx-pl2303/

..with the only brand I could find ("Sweex"), and, although it is  
PL2303-based, the driver apparently does not recognise the vendor.   
So, it doesn't work.  :-(

So, can anyone recommend a mail-order house Stateside that can supply  
adapters that work, for a reasonable price?  The MicroHAM interface  
is out of my reach at the moment.  If I could find a shop that did  
international mail order via USPS that would be ideal.

Thanks a mil from sunny Ireland,

Ron
