Doesn't work with Mac

Although I found and installed Mac drivers for the Chinese USB chip this thing uses, I couldn't get it to work with CHIRP. Everything seemed fine the first time I used it with a PC, but subsequent attempts were unsuccessful. I sent the cable back and bought a cable with an FTDI chip instead. Two stars because it's probably suitable for most PC users.
