Astro_Al Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Does the Rave CD not work (see link in tech archive)? I have it loaded on my PC at 'work' , but I was hoping it'd work on my Mac since I've already resigned and the PC's days are numbered... I'll try it asap. Al.

Astro_Al Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hmmm, what Mac do you have - can you not boot it under windoze? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 There's no parts catalog for MACs If your MAC is Intel based, you can dual boot with XP or as below. If it's PowerPC based, it can be done by using CrossOver or an emulator+windoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cipx2 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Parallels, same as VMware, uses the virtual machine approach to create a virtual PC on a MAC OS on which you have install windoze and run it. This means you will have "to put windows on it" - which wkw90 doesn't want to do. CrossOver, on the other hand, uses a different form of virtualization and uses the open source APIs WINE (more familiar to linux users - see www.winehq.org), so no need for no windoze. The parts catalog is a simple application that can run on older windozes too, so I think it will run on CrossOver just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using it on my linux box and it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Most of the files of interest are PDF's which you should be able to open on the mac straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
