My macbook recognizes and can download tracklogs from my Garmin 76s but my imac does not. I don't understand why. I've tried multiple programs as well as adding drivers, yet still can't get the imac to recognize and read from my gps. Any ideas?

Here are the hardware specs:

Macbook - recognizes and can read tracklogs from Garmin 76s:
Macbook OS X 10.4.11, intel core 2 duo, using load my tracks http://www.cluetrust.com/LoadMyTracks.html without a problem

iMac - does not recognize/ read tracklogs from same Garmin 76s unit
OS X 10.5.8 Intel Core 2 Duo. I've tried load my tracks http://www.cluetrust.com/LoadMyTracks.html as well as GPS dump http://www.gethome.no/stein.sorensen/body_mac.htm, at the suggestion of another mac user I downloaded and installed this driver http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx-pl2303/ still no ready read. I have also tried http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/gpsconnect/ as well as GPS Bable http://www.gpsbabel.org/

Connecting 76s in both instances through a keyspan usb to serial port converter.

Ideas? Leads? Others?

Thanks.
