OK I've done that.

I can now see the keyspan in classic and in Toolkit preferences I've set
the type to Serial and the Port to the Keyspan adapter.

When I try and connect the inspector I get:

"Could not complete your request because the selected Serial Port is busy
(is AppleTalk active? Or is port being used by a modem or some other
application?"

Is this because I have both OS X and Classic drivers installed now?
Ideally I'd like to keep both so I don't have to boot classic just to
install a pkg.

Thanks so much for your help so far.

Cheers,

Richard
