I musta missed where you mention the bridge chip ID, can you tell us
(again?)?
I've found OS X drivers for several USB-serial devices (all with no
'official' drivers), just gotta know the chip inside. (Even if one can't
open the adapter's case one can still probably get the bridge chip's ID
using System Profiler.)
There's only a limited number of chipsets out there, and several
_were/are_ used in Mac supported devices. Plus, some chip makers offer
Mac OS X drivers directly, so even the maker of the adapter itself may
not realize their device works just fine under OS X.
