Re: usb to serial cable

1293 has one that looks a little different than this one, but I tried the drivers on my Mac (OS X 10.4.4) and I can use LabVIEW fine with it. We've also downloaded code with the adapter in the past on a PC. Either way, that one -should- do the job for you.

and others....

I suggest the 6 Ft. (1.8m) USB-to-Serial Port Cable... Model: 26-183 that is available at all radio shacks. This is the same adapter that the VEX programming kit has, and if FVC are using it, then i think it is a big hint that it is good. Yes it is a little pricey, but it is worth the quality.

Re: usb to serial cable

anyone try one of these?
http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/USA19W/
I've seen some have had results with one, but was there any settings or something that had to be set? I tried downloading the code with it but it would not go

edit: Installed the most recent version of the loader and set the com port of the adapter to COM 5, and it works just fine
