I just got my BCD396XT in the mail today. After a couple of hours it is set up, programmed, and working on OSX.
*** Please note that you need Windows running on Mac to program it. ***
I got a NEW scanner with serial cable from Amazon.
I bought this Serial to USB adapter: Amazon.com: TRENDnet USB to RS-232 Serial Converter TU-S9 (White): Electronics
I installed this driver on my Mac laptop: Link
I then verified the driver worked per the instructions.
Then I fired up my Virtual Machine running Windows XP.
I installed this driver on Windows: Link
I then verified the driver worked per the instructions.
Then I installed Free Scan ( FreeSCAN ) and loaded the programming file.
I verified the scanner firmware and connection port from the scanner's settings.
I setup Free Scan for those settings. (COM3 and the port.)
I uploaded the programming.
Waited a second….
IT WORKS!!!
Hopefully the links to the drivers and cable will help someone else.
Thanks to BART and this website!!!!
