Durn, your on MacOSx - which I know nothing about.
For the next, you have three choices:
- Wait for Niluje to have some free hobby time.
- Run Linux (either a LiveCD or in a VM - but expect trouble in a VM)
- Translate the following from Linux to MacOSx
Which means it is not recognizing the device -
does not mean the remote (Kindle) end is not running.
I am betting on the Kindle end **is** running.
It does mean a mis-match in what the Kindle fastboot is using for the USB Vendor:Product ID and what your Mac fastboot is expecting.
Under Linux:
Without starting fastboot on the Kindle, but with the Kindle powered on and USB cable connected, do:
lsusb -v
make a note of the Vendor:Product ID shown for the Kindle.
Now start fastboot on the Kindle, the do:
lsusb -v
make a note of the Vendor:Product ID shown for the Kindle.
Q1: Did the Vendor:Product ID change?
Note1: If your Mac didn't recognize the Kindle when plugged in, then assume the Vendor:Product ID documented (somewhere) here.
A1: no
Kindle fastboot is not running.
A2: yes
Kindle fastboot is running.
You posted that you built (and/or are using) a modified Kindle-Android fastboot on the MAC -
Check the source (or documentation) for what Vendor:Product ID it is expecting.
Q2: Is it expecting what the Kindle is using while the Kindle runs fastboot?
A1: yes
We have some other problem.
Be certain you aren't using a "power only" data cable.
Be certain that the Mac USB port **is not** a USB-3 port.
A2: no
You are using (and/or built) the fastboot for the Kindle-Fire (which is Android) not for the Kindle-Grayscale.

Despite the text, this is a PW-1 in USB storage mode:
Code:
core2quad bin $ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 1949:0004 Lab126 Amazon Kindle 3

Work the above and post the details of what you did and what you found for each thing done.
