Slow Buffalo LinkStation
If anyone ends up at this page looking for the solution to a slow LinkStation I recommend checking that your hub is quick enough to support it. From my investigation LinkStations plugged into 10Mbps hubs (10Base-T) are seriously slow but this is cured by ...
Firefox: Ctrl-Back
Sometimes I come across a usability gem in an application that just seems so obvious once I've found it. This time it was the Ctrl-Back combination in Firefox (it may exist in other browsers but I haven't tested it yet). You may be aware that holding ...
Mac OS X Home Server
Well MacWorld is just around the corner and the Apple silly season is in full swing where commentators from around the web peek into their crystal balls and predict what they believe Apple will announce. In most cases the focus is on hardware ...

Re: Slow Buffalo LinkStation
An older article. But made better by all the comments. Just purchased a TerraStation Pro II and I wish I hadn't. 100M network but a 50M file takes 300 seconds to copy! There's no print server to disable on this one, and I've tried a few different ...

Re: Slow Buffalo LinkStation
Hi Linkstation Users. I have a 250Gb Linkstation running v2.30 firmware, with 9 shared folders. It is NOT used as a print server and there is nothing connected to the USB ports. It is however connected to a 3Com ADSL wireless 100Mbps network hub (4 port) ...

Mac OS X CM11 USB Driver

If you happen to be one of the very few people who have a CM11 USB X10 controller and a Mac running OS X then you may have discovered that this particular CM11 doesn't come with any Mac drivers (not that any do as far as I know). However the two can be used together because the chip used in the USB-Serial converter is from Prolific, who have a driver, compatible even with Mac OS X 10.4. You can download it from here. From my very rudimentary testing the driver seems to work. Your mileage may vary, but hey, it's worth a try.

Hi there This is exactly the info I have been looking for. However the link doesn't seem to work. Could you please tell me which driver from the download page you have tried. And if you have further experience with it I would love to know about it.

Hi Henrik. I think the driver was md_pl2303H_HX_X_dmg_v1.0.9b6.zip from the Mac OS X drivers page, under the heading 'PL-2303 USB to Serial Bridge Controller'. To be honest my testing was rather rudimentary using a trial version of Indigo. I have a few lamp and appliance modules and a couple of wall dimmer switches that all worked.

I've updated the link in the post. It seems that Prolific had redesigned their website.

It also appears that they've updated the driver to version 1.1.0b1 so it's name is md_pl2303H_HX_X_dmg_v1.1.0b1.zip
