Running OBDScan (or similar) on a Mac.

Id like to have the ability to datalog (Using the Harrison OBDScan Apex software).

The only issue is that i've got a Macbook Pro.

Does anyone know if I will be able to run this program successfuly if i run Windows XP through bootcamp or parrallels?

Has anyone done it?

Or better yet, is there Mac specific software out there?

VMware Fusion (runs windows in a mac - not like boot camp) - I have not heard of any for the Mac specifically.

I may just order the harrison software and give it a shot. Ive got both parallels and bootcamp, may have to give the VMware a try. Thanks for the tip, Kane.

good point. Guess i'll go ahead and order everything from harrison and download the VMware once it gets here, so i can take full advantage of the 30 free days

Same diff - I have the macbook. It runs VMware fine - as long as you have an intel processor.
