Ouch!  That is a problem.  Adapter cables were the bane of many early computer hookups...

The cable is not from NCE, so I cannot download drivers from their website.  The manufacturer of the cable (I bought it from either Staples or Office Depot when I was traveling) only included a disk, and there are no drivers available online- something that I did not realize until I got home and opened the box.

My MacBook is only a few years old, so it, thankfully, still has USB ports, and the cable that I bought is a USB-to-serial adapter.  The problem merely lies in obtaining the drivers for this cable; it's neither the problem of the NCE DCC system or the Mac.
Most of those adapter cables use the same converter circuit from Prolific.
Try one of the drivers available here:
