 Problem description: I'm trying to connect a USB/Serial adapter and it just shows up in System Profiler as USB-2.0-Ser! and as Unknown (Device has not been configured). I've tried installing every driver I can find that might work - is there a way like in Windows where I can tell it to use a particular driver or similar?

Attempted fixes: Googling everywhere and installing all the drivers I can find.

Recent changes: Never worked (worked fine on my Win10 laptop)

Operating system: OSX 10.5.8

System specs:G5 2GHz PPC. 4.5GB RAM, 160GB HDD

Location: Australia

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes
