bsworks75 2 Posted October 29, 2011 My husband bought one of the serial to usb cords to use with our MH 721 on our Mac. We are currently running Snow Leopard, by the way. There was some driver that came with the cord but the disc was really small and he said he couldn't get the disc to go into the slot drive (well he tried and said he almost got it stuck so didn't try again) We run Parallels on the mac to use the sign blazer, so we've plugged the serial into the cutting port marked LPT and the usb into the mac and nothing will cut? Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any ideas? find someone with a tray loading CD drive and copy the contents of the CD to a regular sized CD or a thumb drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsworks75 2 Posted October 30, 2011 Ok, did that. There were three things one was for a mac, and two were for a windows. I loaded the mac one and did a restart and nothing. Again, we are using parallels but there were no Windows XP drivers just some windows OS and windows 98_ME? When we load the sign blazer on the parallels it finds the serial port and everything but when you Cut it just has a loading box like it's going to cut but never does then it "stops responding" and you have to fiddle with the settings in parallels to get it to stop stop responding... if any of that makes sense?
