Mac and Targus ACP45US: suprisingly well working together
My roommate got me an Targus ACP45US (Probably one of those $19.99 Buy.com special deal that was expired a few weeks ago) because it basically a dock for laptop that comes with USB based Ethernet adapter, audio interface, USB hub, PS2, parallel port and serial port emulator. I was actually not too impressed by it's USB hub performance because it doesn't work well with my USB scanner and Creative Lab webcam (too much lagging).
BUT there's one thing that really surprised me: the device is totally recognization under OSX86. In fact my Mac OSX 10.5.6 totally see the PS/2 keyboard, and can actually use the audio interface on the USB. So now I have audio in and output provide by this universial dock.
CAn't believe that Targus didn't sell it as a OSX device.

I would like to say thank you for posting this! This is one of the only things I have found through Google that addressed this issue directly. I was wondering if my dock will work since I just switched over to a Mac. At least I know now it is worth a try to see if it will work for me.
BTW, the dock goes for Retail, $109.
Quite a bit more than a $19 buy.com deal.
Thanks again!
I'm interested in knowing how you installed the drivers for this, since if I'm not mistaken Targus doesn't include them with the unit. I'm only able to get the USB ports to work properly. The ethernet and audio are detected, but my mac says they're not configured.
