Yes. I'm using a Keyspan USA-19W with a MacBook Pro, and running OS X. Works great, never a glitch. Sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear if you're stuck with Windoze 100% of the time, but I do occasionally cross over to the dark side when I want to run HRD. I also have a copy of Win XP on my Mac for those crazy moments. ;-)

Frank, I am using the USB to Serial cable/software from Gigaware I got at Radio Shack for my FT-847 and works fine with my old Dell XP Laptop for running SatPC32.

Is anyone using a USB to Serial converter successfully to control a FT847??

The issue is not the USB to serial converter, the radio, or the brand of the converter. The real issue is the software driver support for the operating system being used.
