Does it exist any driver for the serial port? If so you can use drivers found at
http://www.ftdichip.com/
There isn't any usb drivers for Windows neither, the drivers you can download
includes the virtual com-port driver from ftdi.

Or are you saying that no one have made a serial driver for the dgt-board on
mac? This is the job for the author of the chessprogram you are using and not
the DGT people.
