Actually there was a report last week by someone who said he had
tricked the keyspan adapter into working in both OSX and in classic, by
unplugging it and replugging it at the appropriate time (whenever that
is).
Clearly this wouldn't work if an OSX app was actively using it.
I guess the way to test this would be to unplug the keyspan, start up
NCU in classic, and then plug it in (presumably BEFORE ncu gets to
checking the serial ports).
Of course the keyspan doesn't support localtalk, so you need to use a
straight up serial connection (NCU prefs).
