All of the above information about the Prolific adapter can be
displayed without a driver. (USB devices can contain strings like
"USB-Serial Controller".) It doesn't look like you have an OS X driver
- there may be an OS 9 driver installed, but that won't show up in
/dev, so it will not work with NUT.
