I need to re-install the usb-serial driver for a Globalsat BU-353 antenna. Using the download from GPSNavX the installer complains that I cannot install v. 1.21 on my disk because a "newer version exists on the disk".

I've been through /System/Library/Receipts and there is nothing there; unloaded and removed the .kext file in Extensions; removed all versions of the driver from my HD - restarted, no joy.

Anyone have pointers about how to override or fix this?

10.6.5 & 10.6.6

Nothing wrong with using the new version. Recommend you install this one..

Be sure to do this first though

1) Quit GPSNavX or MacENC

2) Disconnect the BU-353

3) Install driver

4) Restart Mac

5) Plug in BU-353

6) Restart GPSNavX or MacENC

Do note in the above steps you must download the zip, then double-click the "PL2303_1.4.0.dmg" to get to the actual installer which you must launch.

Yes, got those steps OK. I was using 1.2.1 as that is the one that downloads from your site.

Any idea what that error message means?

Many thanks,
