Jean-Christophe.

I've looked at the PIL-Box. I have gravitated toward mac (I do have an old PC running Win 2000) and have a poor personal history of figuring out communication between devices. I unsuccessfully installed WINE for running a Windows only device to PC application I wanted to use. Crossover may be easier to use. I was a fair hand running KERMIT between devices. If its not super simple I am usually stumped. Is there a "PIL-Box for Dummies" set of instructions for set up and use?

I have not used my PIL-box for a while, but last time I ran it on Mac OS X native. No Windows compatibility thingie is needed.

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.
