Which USB-to-Serial chip is in your programming cable?

Thanks, Jim. I checked the purchase I did three years ago and this is the cable https://www.ebay.it/itm/191915484997 I have no more info and actually now it reads that it is Win compatible without any mention to Mac. I am pretty sure I already used it back then also with the Mac but eventually just with Windows.
Anyway I can get more info?
The reply to "ls /dev/cu*” is /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/cu.usbserial Not sure this helps either.
Thanks,

The above ( /dev/cu.usbserial ) indicates that you have a programming cable with a Prolific type USB-to-Serial chip. Genuine Prolific chips are very rare in programming cable so the likelihood of your chip being an unauthorized copy is very high. In that case you need to purchase and use a 3rd party device driver. This is the one I bought and installed on my macBook Air to use with my large variety of programming cables with a "Prolific" chip.
