Chrissaf Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 DHRover, you can try before you buy..Use the download link at the top of the RailMaster forum page. This is the free evaluation copy for any user who does not have an activation key..You will then be able to see for yourself if it will install and run on your 'Windows in MAC emulation' system. The installer gives you an option for selecting either eLink or Elite (from memory I think there may even be a 'no controller' option that can be chosen for when RM is going to be used as a 'slave'). In your case, choose eLink as that is the controller you have mentioned. RailMaster can run without a controller attached..If you can get RailMaster to run on the MAC, then that is only half the story. You also need to have a USB driver installed in the Windows environment to communicate with the eLink controller. Windows 10 uses a USB serial driver from the Microsoft Windows driver repository that is found and installed using 'Plug n Play'. You would need to have an actual physical eLink (or Elite) in your possession to invoke the driver PnP installation (note Elite uses the same USB driver as eLink, so if you know someone with an Elite, you could borrow that to try..Although it is not supported officially by HRMS, users have reported success running RailMaster on a MAC. What I am not sure though (as a non MAC user myself) is whether your particular MAC set up that you have documented in your post is the same as other users have successfully used..If you keep checking back here, another actual MAC user may provide a comment to confirm or not as the case may be.

rpjallan Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hey DHRover. I have been running RailMaster since the beginning on several Macs running VMware Fusion. I have rarely had a problem. I daresay less than a lot of native windows users. I guess Parallels will not be much different. You may have to experiment a bit with network settings to be able to get RailMaster to activate correctly but that is no big deal really.Anyway, as Chrissaf said, download the evaluation copy and give it a go.
