What you need (apart from the HPIL device emulation software on the host side) is a driver and then (optional) a configuration to improve performance.

Could you expand on this a little? I didn't do my research before purchasing Crossover from the MacWorld store yesterday. I should have figured out that Crossover needs the latest (or nearly latest) mac OS to run. Crossover would not instal on my old system. So the Crossover path is closed at the present time.

Garth, thanks for the useful tips on RS232 over IL, I'll give that a try.

I will probably try to get it running on my new laptop soon, it would be useful.
