Hey all,
Just ordered the new mac-book pro for college and I was wondering if the UCC was compatible with mac. Also can you load up a hyperterminal for the UTEC like you can on windows? I am new to the apple/mac world and am trying to get a heads up. Thanks in advance!

not sure on this one. I'll Bump for you

 

I doubt UCC is compatable but the hyperterminal can be installed somehow, or atleast i am pretty sure it can. I will try to ask my buddy about it. I am about to order the same thing for college as well, my ibm has seen better days.

 

bump for any responses...

 

I run my Utec and Tuner on a Mac using Virtual PC (couple of hundred bucks)

It would prbably be cheaper to find a used PC with XP or similar. Don't go back to Win98 unless you know for sure it'll run.

Seems like there might be a way to use one of the OS X utilities to get a telenet-like connection and read out, similar to hyperterminal, but I doubt you will find any Mac versions or support for UCC since it was developed privately.

Good Luck

If you only have usb ports, you can try a Keyspan adaptor (mdl# USA 19W ? ... it's the grey and clear one in any event.) It works fine with my Mac's "UCC on Virtual PC" connection to the Utec / Tuner set up.
