[amsat-bb] new computer doesn't see Keyspan adapters

Or you could look online for the same down level drivers that work on your old machine, then install them in the new machine. I've done that with my windows  based system's on occasion, rather then update the USB hardware device...

Hi Perry. I was running Windows 7 on a laptop and used a USB to serial adapter without any problems. Upgraded to Win 10 and everything went flaky controlling my radio for the sats using SATPC32. Changed to a new adapter with a more modern chip set and all is well again. 

I am thinking even though you are running a Mac, Apple like Windows figures they are dumping the old chip sets in their OS.
