    FAQ

    Q:  I have an Apple computer and a Linux computer.  Do I need to order the KUSB for those computers?

    A: Yes.  The KUSB adapter cable can be used on most any MacIntosh or x86 Linux operating system.  You will need to download and install the appropriate driver from the FTDI web site. 

    If you have a USB port on your computers, we recommend the KUSB cable.

    Q:  I have an older laptop that still has a 9-pin COM port on it but it also has USB ports available.  Which cable should I use?

    A:  Where possible, we always recommend the KUSB cable.  This cable provides the flexibility to connect to most any newer computer available today.
