MM calibration on a Mac?

I am trying to get my AP custom calibrated by MM, but I can not download the AP Manager because I have an Apple computer and do not run Windows. Does anyone know if there is an AP Manager program for Apple or do I have to run it all off a Windows system?

Thanks.

No idea. You could download and install Sun Virtual Box and then install a Windows OS.

Windows only.
Can you run in emulation?

Yeah Jeff, Virtual Machine will do it - it runs windows inside the Mac OS.

Sun's Virtual Box is free and runs great on a Mac

There is actually a beta version of the AP Manager for OS X. It works fine for copying and deleting maps, but it is fairly buggy and I don't believe it can access the data logs. Tried the OS X version first, and now run it through windows on the mac.

You're going to want to dual boot using Boot Camp if you are hooking up a USB to serial connection. Parallels/VMWare/etc are virtual machine environments that you run as an application under OS X, but they have a hard time with mapping physical ports on the computer. End result is you will have sketchy performance with connections that require constant data throughput.

Free solution- download the Windows 7 beta and burn it to dvd. Run Boot Camp Assistant (under applications->utilities), reboot while holding down the option key.
