Default Mac Owners please read...

Has anyone gotten the vag-com software to work using virtual pc? I'd rather not buy a second laptop if I don't have to.
And please don't turn this into a mac vs. pc thing. Thanks.

Default should work, or bum a PC for an afternoon?

I don't use virtual PC, but at this point I think it will run most anything. I do multimedia stuff, and I hear of people running pretty crazed apps under VPC.

No need to buy a second laptop- I would think a PC of some sort is easily borrowed these days. If you're in Atlanta, I could loan you one.

Default Thanks. I'm trying to figure this out so i can have one handy always.

But i do know people that have it on their pc's. Just tired of trying to hook up with them whenever i need it.

Default you will need a serial port...

Virtual PC will just assume control of the serial port on your Mac and it will work.

If it doesn't my buddy works for Connectix (software company that wrote VPC) and I will tell him to fix it!

Hence the Virtual PC. I already know he doesn't write software for the mac.
