What are you trying to do? Load a new radio load in to the scanner?

Would it not be easier and no more expensive to do that on your computer? Oh, never mind - I just saw the first post and got reminded of your situation. Hopefully someone on the peninsula will chime in and can get you set up.

My daughter is looking into downloading a program for me so I can run EZ scan on my mac. But may be some one out there would be able to help.

VirtualBox is free, and will run pretty much any flavor of Windows on an Intel Mac, and run it well. I have been using it to load my Pro-160 and Pro-18 via their respective softwares, and all my Unidens via FreeScan. Just make sure you have the proper driver installed in the Virtual Machine for the cable, and give exclusive access to that USB device.

Free is good, Parallels is another option - not free though

Not to mention, as long as you can provide a monitor, (and in some cases a keyboard/mouse) Newegg, has an overwhelming selection of refurb, off lease, Win 7 PCs for fraction of the price of the scanner itself.
Heck, if you've been doing that for any length of time you've probably spent as much on gas as what you could get a PC for.
