What is nice about the Actisense converter is it will connect to a Keyspan USB to serial adapter or a Shipmodul Mux.
Where there is no OS X driver for the Maretron converter USB adapter.

I'm just trying to prod you into writing an OS X configuration app for the Actisense like you did for ShipModul 42.

I received this email from Maretron re: a request I made for OSX Driver Compatibility.
"Thank you for your comment. We do recognize the marketplace desire for a MacOSX capability to utilize our USB100 and do intend to address this in future product development.
Thanks, Larry
Larry Anderson
Vice President, Sales & Marketing - Maretron LLP"
sounds good to me. ..

The Actisense web page says, "preliminary information" and I do not know any vendor who really has this product in stock. Does anyone know for sure if it has shipped to distribution and is available?

For the NGW-1 NMEA 2000/0183 Gateway, [color:red]Actisense[/color] lists a Mac OS X driver for the USG-1. The NGW-1 is currently beta testing though.
