Is KUSB-488A supported on Mac OS X?

[craign]

Hi All,

   I have a Keithley KUSB-488A GPIB<->USB adaptor which reports itself as USB vendor id 0x3923 (National Instruments) product id 0x725C.  By looking at the latest 2.5.6B drivers (NI-488.2MacOSX2.5.6b0.dmg), I see a reference to the KUSB-488A along with what appears to be the correct 0x725C product id.  However, the Apple USB Prober shows that the ni488k driver did not associate with the USB device and the NI Troubleshooting Wizard application can not see the device (error message: The Troubleshooting Wizard has detected that no GPIB interfaces are configured on your system.).

   Is my configuration (MacPro3,1 Mac OS X 10.6.7, Keithley KUSB-488A) supported? Or should I just install a Linux Virtual Machine?

   Thanks,

       CraigN

A Keithley is not an NI device and you need to talk to Keithley.

A Keithley KUSB-488A is just a NI product with a Keithley sticker on it as far as I can tell - As far as the USB bus is concerned, it is reported as a NI device and hence this question on the NI forums especially as the KUSA-488A is referred to from the NI drivers.  I am just wondering if this is dead code or a misconfiguration on my part?
