[NTLK] Problem with KeySpan on Mac OS Sierra

["Piotrowski Paweł (Newton)"]

OK, I did couple test and my method is that:

1. Install KeySpan drivers for 10.9 (older not working), WITHOUT connecting KeySpan device.
2. Shut down computer. Don’t reboot. Shutdown.
3. Connect KeySpan device.
4. Connect cable for Newton.
5. Connect and ON Newton.
6. Run computer and DON’T DISCONNECT any device. If you do it - Mac will crush!
7. Run NCX (v. 2.3 - newer from NCX website, v 2.0 will crush).
8. In NCX prefs set proper port (1.1). Never choose ‘Keyserial1’ - Mac will crush and NCX will crush too.

If NCX have problems (crushing etc.) just delete prefs from ~/Library

I’m using RPi as netatalk server almost a year. The same unit working as NPDS Tracker Server too :)
