1) Install a copy of Win XP pro via parallels.
2) Update XP to SP3 (Google "download XP service pack").
3) Install FTDI virtual com port drivers
4) Plug in USB to TTY cable.
5) Ignore auto install. Go to device manager and manually install driver. Should now recognize cable at COM#.
6) Download MySamba and appropriate binary from WP 34S Sourceforge site.
7) Flash calculator as per the Theremin World site.
8) Start using the calculator.

The hard part was realizing that I needed to update XP before it would allow me to install the drivers. Before updating, I could not install the drivers, even when I forced the system to look at the directory where the drivers were installed. Hope this helps out others trying to flash a calculator on a Mac.
