A kindly user, Maarten Segers reports
FYI, the driver documented here WILL crash on OSX Sierra. Ixxat automation driver download for windows 7.
I can personally not test on MacOS and can not vouch for the above drivers at github, but there you go.
See uninstalling information at the bottom of the page if the driver causes problems for you.
Here is an older version of the Mac driver, NOT FOR 10.12 Sierra

Linux

Drivers are almost certainly built into your Linux kernel already and it will probably just work as soon as you plug it in. If not you can download the Linux CH340 Driver (but I'd recommend just upgrading your Linux install so that you get the 'built in' one).

A couple of Mac users have said 'the driver crashes my mac Sierra how do I uninstall'.
Firstly regards the crash make sure you installed the 1.3 version of the driver, not the old one. You could download it directly from the Manufacturers Website in case they have issued an update since I wrote this page.
Secondly a quick google search reveals that this is how you uninstall:
- Open a terminal and type:
cd /Library/Extensions/ - Verify that the .kext file is present:
ls | grep usbserial.kext - Output should be:
usbserial.kext - Then type:
sudo rm -R usbserial.kext - Verify that the .kext file has been removed:
ls | grep usbserial.kext - Output should be empty.
- After you should remove the files stored in receipts folder:
cd /private/var/db/receipts/ - Find the enties:
ls | grep usbserial* - Output should be:
codebender.cc.ch34xinstaller.usbserial.pkg.bom codebender.cc.ch34xinstaller.usbserial.pkg.plist - Remove each one of the files of the above list:
sudo rm -rfilename`
