Pamela,

Thanks for the info.

Will the Book Port work on the latest Mac using the Intel 2 core chip. This computer runs both platforms. You can run a programme called "Boot camp", which is part of the Mac OS. This software boots either Mac or Windows. There is a Russian software programme, which allows you to toggle between the two platforms.

I have seen this computer in action.

Most impressive.

Before I upgrade my computer and purchase a Book Port, I need an answer to my query.

Book Port is not supported on a Mac, because you need the Book Port
Transfer software to filter the items to work on Book Port. Also,
because of drive letter platform, it can't be used with a Mac. Even if
you were to find other software to use, ours wouldn't work, and
therefore, we do not support Mac.

Hi Everyone,

This is my 1st posting to the group. I have been listening to audio
books (taped) since early 1990. The organization that supplies me
with books, is going digital. They will use the "Daisy" format.

My question: Is there any method or software, that will enable me to
use a "Book Port" with my Mac??

Just at present, I do not wish to upgrade my Mac, to a dual core,
dual platform machine.

Thank you,

Stan.
