For a while Ive been testing out Flexi 10 for Windows and my MH-871 runs just fine (I was using a friends PC laptop). Recently I bought the Mac version of Flexistarter 8.5 and I cannot get the software (Production Manager) to recognize the cutter on my Mac via USB as it does on my friends Windows machine.
Im running:
OSX 10.8.2
Flextstarter 8.5
MH871-MK2
I have tried numerous fixes found on this site and others with no help. I have installed drivers FTDI USB Serial Driver v2.2.18 found on another forum post. I have tried setting the vinyl cutter as a Roland PN-1000 and reinstalled the drivers, but still nothing shows up under the USB option.
Is my only choice to buy a serial converter in order to use this software with my Mac? I saw a pinned thread and several others about this device and how to run the drivers. It just seems as if I should be able to run the software with out it somehow.
Any help will be appreciated.
