Brightstar Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi olly,Read through the material on the last link. There is some doubt as to whether their are any drivers for the MAC to Elite interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace10086 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 a native connection within OSX is going to be difficult due to the lack of driver so you really need to run Windows either as a virtual machine (Parallels, VMWare, Virtual Box) or directly using bootcamp.
