Open driver?

[Sarah]

Hi Chris,

It depends whether your USB interface mimics a printer port. If it does 
(like port 1 on Keyspan or similar adapters), then you can connect 
perfectly. If it uses another name, then I don't know whether you can 
do it at all in Transcript - you may have to stick to AppleScript. For 
testing purposes, you might like to try my Serial test stack which is 
available on my web site.

Cheers,
Sarah
