Shearwater download manager on a Mac

cronix · 25th July 2008, 15:43

I have been trying to get the Shearwater download manager to work on my MacBook Pro by using VMware Fusion (and Window$ XP). No luck so far. My XP installations installs the irDa software and recognised the dongle. Paring between the dongle and my Shearwater is also working; but I am only able to transfer 62 bytes before it all stops.

Has anyone been able to get this all working on a Mac? Does Parallels do a better job in this?

It works fine in Parallels - I have had a lot of trouble with Fusion.

I was just going to post that too. I tried parallels and that does the trick.

Is there a way to use parallels with the internal IR port on a mac book? I have the software working and now need to get the things to talk to each other.
