Default MM9093 serial to usb driver

My macbook doesnt have a space for a "small" disc that comes with the serial to usb converter that Jerry @ diy sells with his MSPNP's, This one to be exact:

http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/s...2949cf7420b1a1

I cant seam to find the driver on it anywhere via internet and my macbook isnt picking up that its connected to my computer. Anyone know where i can find the driver, for window xp pro preferably.
Thanks

Humm, it seams to run into an error during install every time. Any other idea's?

Edit: Currently installing now, i think i just needed internet connection. I had gone out to the car and tried installing it there. Will report back with more info at another time.

You need to be installing this while running windows not OS X first of all. (I think)

Try this driver. It is a USB 2920, search google for "usb 2920 driver" until you find one that works. Or email diyautotune for the drivers so they can host or email them to you.

I've never come across any CD drive or CD player that doesn't take the small CDs before

Its not that its not designed to take dics's its designed to have regular sized cd's put into it. The drive doesnt open up like every other computer i have owned. The cd is to me inserted, This picture might help a bit to understand where im coming from.

http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/

See the little cd drive on the right? Im just afraid to but a smaller cd and have it get suck in there or something.

Remember the little plastic widgets that you snapped into the center of 45 RPM records to play them on a turntable with only an LP spindle? Something like that where the disc snaps inside a larger ring perhaps...

Have you done the device manager check to see if the computer even sees the com port?
