   Installing FTDI drivers?

   I want to experiment a little with Arduino. Apparently I need to install FTDI   
   serial drivers to communicate with the Arduino board.    
      
   Iım quite wary about bricking my Arduino, remembering the recent FTDI driver   
   scandal. (Who knows by sight which chips are legitimate and which are   
   counterfeit?) ::   
      
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTDI#Driver_controversy   
      
   Is it safe to install the FTDI driver for OS X listed on FTDIıs download   
   page? ::   
      
   http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm   
      
   If not, where to get drivers for OS X?    
      
   Thanks,   
   Dave
