tbmoore 0 #1 April 21, 2010 Macbook – Paralog - Neptune N3 This has been hard to setup. Harder than it should be. All three products are good but harder than it should be to make them work together. Everyone wants to help and nice but I think installation should be better designed. Neptune did offer money back. Love it now that it is running. Just took too long to gather correct information.. Still have to go into Windows to operate the MNU but that is only for upgrades. Can live with that for now... Written to help other Macbook owners that want to download their N3 to Paralog. I have the basic Macbook running MAC OS X version 10.6.3 with intel core 2 Duo. Driver for USB is FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_14.dmg (Install this first without N3 connected. Paralog version installed is 5.3.1 Some of the instructions I have seen on other sites do not work as described on my setup. I did not see the screen prints as shown on some sites. Therefore drivers do not look as if installed. First I suggest Driver is installed. DO THIS BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR N3. Then do a reboot. Now you can connect your N3 to USB port. Make good connection…rubber protector can unplug the N3 or prevent connection… Install Paralog and reboot. When you enter Paralog Register and use normal instructions. Serial port should show up when you try to connect. You can verify N3 is connected to port by going to Applications---Utilities---System Profiler…Under Hardware select USB…..N3 should show up. (As shown on some sites and screen shots I have no Icons or setup screens..most likely different versions but confusing).. This was written for working in Mac…NMU … will not work in Mac…It will run in VMware Fusion (I am running this) and I have been told Parallels…In VMware it installed as it would in normal Windows install with no issues. But for normal downloads who wants to load all this up. I would rather take the quicker route and just download in Mac. Below are links to Drivers and Paralog that helped.
