Serial comms under OS X are a bit dodgy but I have had some success. 
They work completely differently under OS X to OS 9 or Windows. Check 
the docs for driverNames, open drive, close driver, read from driver, 
write to driver and hopefully you might get somewhere. If your adapter 
is listed when you query the driverNames, then you will probably be OK, 
but I'd be very interested to see how you get on.

Remember to use the third item of the driverNames line as your driver 
i.e. the one with cu in the name.
