So after hours of heartache and trashed vinyl, I finally consulted with US cutter on an issue of my 721 stopping in the middle of a job. It kept throwing a communication failure error.
I'm using a MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.8, Illustrator, Signcut X2 and a MH 721 cutter. I was using this via USB. DON'T DO THIS!!!
US Cutter said to purchase a Keyspan USB to serial device. I couldn't find that brand specifically, so I bought an I/O Gear USB to Serial. Worked perfectly!
DO NOT BUY A BELKIN CONVERTER! The box says that it is Mac compatible, but it does not support OSX. I tried to install it, but it is written in Classic OS, not OSX. I was lucky that Staples took it back.
All good now...

So in summary, yes, your setup would work and I'd be happy to let you know of any complications I had and resolutions. Just let me know...

They took much longer than they should have, but they came out nice. This is our first attempt at banners.

Here's what worked for me. I'm using a MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.8, Illustrator, Signcut X2 and a MH 721 cutter. I was using this via straight USB. Did not work...
