is the aem ems compatable with apple laptops??

 

I havent had a mac for awhile but I believe it will only work with Virtual PC. But that may not even work Im not sure

 

dang... anyone els??

 

you can get a new intel macbook and run windows on it

 

virtual pc is free now i believe? or intel mac and bootcamp... but tons of ways of getting it done.

 

Not compatable.

 

there is a freeware that's available for the new intel cored mac's. bootcamp or there is one more that works by putting seperate partician on the mac, one for pc and one for mac os.

I thought about putting mac mini in my car and hook it up to the aem ems, but mini mac doesn't come with a serial port, which is always a pain in the ***.

works very good though. On Mac, the pc os works a lot faster. blazing even.

 

To run Windows on a Intel-based Mac go to http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

 

they dont even have a version for linux

 

The software won't run under OS X. You might be able to get the AEM software working with CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/), but I'd just run it inside of WinXP using Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/) instead.

 

It will work best with parallels software. We have tuned numerous cars with the macbook and parallels.

 

i've hooked up to an EMS with the software running on my Macbook inside WinXP pro booted with bootcamp.... using a USB-> serial plug as one would with any standard windows laptop.

 

i tried launching the aem software with wine, aemproclassic.exe works,
aemlog.exe doesnt work, and aempro.exe doesnt work

blah! no go w/ linux unless using vmware or something.

 

+1 fore parallels on an intel-based Mac

anything else will be sketchy at best.

sketchy can lead to a fried EMS if you aren't careful.
