Running ProScan on a Mac with VMware

Has anyone been successful running ProScan within a windows session in VMware? I run everything too web server,ScanCast and remote IP. Controlled via serial to USB (two radios) and USB sound cards.

Anyone have any luck? The new iMacs sure are look’n good.

As long as the VMWare supports serial port communications it should work fine. You can also use Apple Boot Camp to run Windows on any Intel mac for those applications that just won't work in VMWare or emulation modes.

I run Proscan, Freescan Win500, RX320 and assorted others in an XP VM, no issues at all.
3 sound cards, 2 serial ports, and USB, all work flawlessly.
