Dear Massapoag and WeatherCat faithful,
It's been years since I have been here! I started with Stuart when it was LWC.
Well as another LWC old-timer let me welcome you back to the now WeatherCat forum!
It's always been my mind set if it works leave alone if it isn't broke. Well, it's broke now after about 10 years WeatherCat.... I had a Mac Mini go belly up, and have been trying to move it over to a iMac running on Big Sur using a KeySpan USB adapter with no luck. I see there are issues installing USB on Big Sur. Any insights on how/if possible to get this old hardware working?
Unfortunately, Apple has thrown a major curve ball at the developers of Serial to USB adapters. I couldn't find any adapters that claim Big Sur compatibility on Amazon. Do you know which drivers are needed for the KeySpan adapter? I see that Prolific driver is supposedly compatible with Big Sur:

If you can give us any additional information on the driver that used to work, perhaps we can give you some additional pointers.
Cheers, Edouard
