In system profiler, with my USB to serial adaptor cable plugged in, under USB Bus it says USB-Serial Controller And on the bottom it says under USB Bus: Host Controller Location: Built in USB Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBUHCI I have vision, but I like fooling around with my synthesizer. I just got off the phone with a best buy geek squad agent. He told me that I don't need a driver for the USB to serial adaptor but that I need a driver for my doubletalk speech synthesizer. Another thing he said was about the USB plug, I have the older style plug 1.0 I think, he talked about audio and video. I was told the older style USB cable will work but it would be slower. The geek squad agent said they would be the same speed, so I am wondering if I can use the older style USB to connect my synthesizer?
