Prolific USB serial driver won't install :-/
Authored by: shredwild on Jul 18, '05 01:15:47AM

Hi there:

downloaded md_pl2303H_HX_X_v1.0.9b6.zip from
http://tech.prolific.com.tw/visitor/v_filebrw_result.asp?CateID=138583

but the package would not install correctly. After choosing the volume and clicking on install the system would display a dialog box indicating "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install" !?

Also tried to extract the driver with Pacifist and install manually. Driver would load (kextload) without problems but I can't see a device/port in the application I want to use the usbserial adapter with (Hotsynch in my case).

Any ideas?

Thanks, Harry.

A patch for the Prolific USB serial driver
Authored by: MCJolley on Aug 05, '05 07:51:01PM

I am trying to connect my Kyocera 7135 with a prolific cable to my PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.2) using SmithMicro QuickLink Mobile Mac v2.1.0. They say they are waiting on prolific to complete an updated driver. I installed the one mentioned above and it doesn't work consistently or completely. It did get it to connected a few times though, after restarting the Mac and resetting the phone each time, however it is very unreliable. Is there an updated driver in the works?
