Default Last time I checked, nope not on macs :(
I even tried running the emulator, Virtual PC on my powerbook but I guess USB drivers don't work the same when running windows on a mac in a "virtual platform"

Default Does not even work w/ Virtual PC

Get a Powerbook anyway. You can get any POS used 200 Mhz laptop to install win2k on just to drive vag-com.

Default I use a 2x1.8 G5 workstation and keep a windoze laptop around for things like this.
I can run anyone's software this way and still enjoy using OSX 10.3
