I've done some of the troubleshooting steps and nothing jumped out; I'm already well aware of how the Mac handles the serial interfaces and names them.
But, I need to find the time to dig deeper.? I suspect the issue is the 64-bit support - has anyone used a PR3 with a new 64-bit Mac yet?? If so, that might help me pinpoint the problem.
I'll report back once I've had time to experiment a little more.
