K3 Util/Macbook Pro issue

[CX7TT]

Hola, Recently tried to interface Win8 with K3 Prolific cable with no
success so until I can get FTDI chipset, I decided to download K3 Util
for OS 10.10.

With Elecraft supplied serial/usb cable (pre-FTDI), the Apple does not
recognize the cable as there is no serial port choice after refreshing
and doing computer restart.

Any suggestions? Does OS 10.10 require FTDI?

Hi Tom,

OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) has the FTDI driver built-in. To use a Prolific device, you will need to install the Prolific driver. You can find it here.
