A patch for the Prolific USB serial driver
Authored by: si on Dec 18, '03 08:40:39AM

I had a problem under OS X 10.3 (Panther) with a Manhattan USB Serial adapter using the PL-2303 chipset. The driver is intended for 10.2 but does install. After a restart an error message says the driver has not been correctly installed.

The solution is to correct the permissions and usership in /System/Library/Extentions/ProlificUSBSerial.kext

sudo su
<type your password>
chmod -R og-w /System/Library/Extentions/ProlificUSBSerial.kext <return>
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extentions/ProlificUSBSerial.kext
<return>

Has anyone been able to get the INtel Mac to connect to a USBSerial driver?
