I've tried using several USB-to-serial adapters to connect a
Firecracker to my Mac, each time with no luck. I believe the problem
is due to a timing issue with the Firecracker, though I've never been
able to confirm it. Other X10 kits are available for the Mac, of
course, but the Firecracker specifically seems to be Mac-unfriendly.
