Hi ben, I ported some serial port code that was written for windows to Mac OS X recently. You will pretty much have too rewrite the windows code, as the API is completely different on both platforms. That said, it's not that hard a job. I'm attaching two files, one with windows serial code, and another with the ported code. Note: the function SetLastError() is a windows api function. For the Mac OS X version of the code, I provided a function of this name which threw an appropriate exception. You could use this function to set errno or whatever suits your purposes.

By the way, I'm using a keyspan serial port adapter (USA19QW), it works great.

I have a project coming up in two months and I would be very happy to be able to interface pd on OSX with a serial device. (using keyspand serial adapter)

How possible would a OSX port of comport object be?

Thanks! Ben
