I was also banking on my USB to serial converter working U232-P9

I have tried the drivers on the net . still no /dev/tty.usbserial

I am not yet defeated

I did get a kewl thing called 'port' installed which grabs all your

I am still convinced my new macbook is what i want - a really stable  
windows with a unix back end
