[NTLK] Just got a eMate 300 . . . need drivers

Hi Eric,

1. You should NOT install any drivers. MacOS have all necessary drivers.
2. Try different RS232 to DIN8 cable. Maybe something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DB9P-to-8P-Mini-Din-RS232-Download-Cable-White-8-2-Ft-for-PLC-DVP-EH-N9H6/223107317766?epid=1569033029&hash=item33f23b8006:g:tS4AAOSwfBFbd8Ee <https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DB9P-to-8P-Mini-Din-RS232-Download-Cable-White-8-2-Ft-for-PLC-DVP-EH-N9H6/223107317766?epid=1569033029&hash=item33f23b8006:g:tS4AAOSwfBFbd8Ee>

Cheers,
Pawel
