I was wondering if i could use a turbolink or DS with the new Ibook from mac. Planning to get one just want to make sure i can use the laptop along with turbolink or DS on my TR. thanks:D
 
No, they will not run from the Mac OS. You may be able to run something like Virtual PC on the mac and use turbolink with a USB to Serial adapter. Directscan wont run in Virtual PC for sure. I would ask Ken Mosher if the Virtual PC and USB to Serial thing would work.....
 
That'd be a fun experiment ... it might work, since VirtualPC will run Windows ...

Might only work on the GNs (since I don't think it'll allow the right baud rate settings for the P4 cars).

Next time I talk to Dave Kripal, we'll see if we can get his iMac hooked up.
 
No, they don't have paralell ports. Or even serial ports for that matter. Really was just thinking out load with the virtual pc and USB to serial adapter......
 
The interesting thing would be to try the USB to serial adapter with the new TurboLink....running Virtual PC.

Might be a neat setup!
