Existing users, 
this is the response I got from Griffin Technology:
"The iMate is not supported in OS 10.4. Apple has removed more and more
support for serial device in every iteration of the OS. If it is not working
for you, I suggest you return it to the vendor from whom you purchased for a
refund.
Thanks"
They are now turning down customers??? This has been such a waste of time and money for me. All I was connecting to the machine was a simple keyboard and mouse.
And here is my response
"http://griffintechnology.com/support/imate/IMATE-012.php
Here it says that the iMate is supported in OSX. Why wasn't it stated that it isn't supported in OSX 10.4?
I spent more money on shipping the iMate than the iMate cost me! I am not about to spend the same amount of money to send it back. Very very disappointing. OSX 10.4 has been out for about a year now, why hasn't this support issue been stated? Why hasn't the software been updated? Can the iMate driver not include numerous drivers for various serial drivers? or guide us to a site that has these available for download? This is Griffin Technology's job to do as supplier of this kind of device. To keep support for it ongoing.
I need a reply, or a direct refund, you can pay for postage."

Works with 10.4.5 - mkp
Another thing, their warning about OS X being less supporting serial devicesis more about other old devices (which need their own drivers to function)
that you may want to connect through iMate.

Works with 10.5 without driver - mkp
Again, the iMate adaptor works (without driver) with 10.5.Sunday, November 11 2007 @ 10:48 AM PST

If all you want is just to use an ADB keyboard and/or an ADB mouse, then fine, don't install the driver. I've used it this way with 10.4.5.Actually, I find the driver useless in OS X, even causes problem.
