The manufacturer of the cable is a company called dynex

I bought my computer in like January of 2008, it has an 2.4 Ghz intel  
core 2 duo processor. I went into best buy and bought what I thought I  
needed a USB to serial adaptor. I later found out when I called the  
company that the cable I bought has an older USB style plug. I was  
told that the older plug would work on my mac. My mac has two USB  
outlets. I don't really know if the ports on my mac can accept either  
variety of plug? I did order a 2.0 USB to serial adaptor and I'm  
waiting to get it.

I was afraid that if I told people that I have sight, that they  
wouldn't help me.
I have always wanted to get my computer to talk and to mess around  
with the synthesizer I bought.
The model number of the USB cable is:
Dx-ubdb9

That is what I told the geek squad agent that the driver for the  
doubletalk would be included with the screen reader, is that right?

I just wanted to thank you for your help. And sorry that I didn't  
provide certain info. Btw I posted to a mac programming website and

10-to-1 it's based off either the FT232R or PL-2303 series chips.  
Neither of these are supported out of the box by MacOS X. There are  
mac drivers available, however. You can find them on the FTDI or  
Prolific websites (respectively).
