[Xastir] TM-D700A with a Mac

[Roger Banks]

The BAFO ones from Fry's work pretty good with my Mac. They have a 25 
pin version which works fine with a KPC and the 9 pin version works with 
everything from an iMic, to Th-D7, to TinyTrack.

Don't, however, bother trying to hook up a Yaesu rig via their computer 
interface no matter which usb adapter you try. :-(
