    Updated review 21 July 2015 - Works perfectly on Yosemite and Windows 7 x64 with updated drivers
    ****UPDATED 21 JULY 2015****Seems to work flawlessly on Mac and Windows now. You will need to download updated drivers if you are using OS X 10.7 or later.StarTech seems to have fixed ALL issues and now the software and device work flawlessly.--------------------------------------------------------------------Completely non-functional on Mac OSX Lion, Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks. The drivers just throw errors. I can only assume the software has never been tested on an actual Mac.Next, does not function on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. I did not test on any other version. Software just throws errors. Avoid this company's products and look for an alternative product that is produced by a company that maintains their product's software requirements.
