Parallels is a funny piece of software. Their hypervisor code works very well, but device driver support is spotty. OpenPort+EcuFlash+Windows _does_ work under parallels, but getting it configured properly is not pleasant, nor is it stable.

Bootcamp works great though. I've flashed many ECUs using it.

It shouldn't be much longer before a fully functional OS X version emerges. The necessary pieces are in place. Now somebody just needs to do a moderate amount of porting work. I hacked the above example to show that the codebase COULD be built on unix systems.

Sorry, just to reiterate, I can log without a hitch using libmut and flash using parallels, using a tactrix cable? What else would I need besides a clue ?

I have tuned my car 99% in Parallels, including ECU reflashing.

In terms of logging, it is actually faster than bootcamp for me. With the same set of items to log, I'll often get one more entry per second vs in bootcamp - not a huge deal, but a nice bonus.

The one thing that isn't 100% is USB-to-Serial adapter support. I can log my ZT-2's WB output in Evoscan in Parallels just fine. However, I cannot log with Zeitronix logging software; this requires a reboot to bootcamp.

Yeah. Motorola powerpc performance sucked. It is a shame that the powerpc 970 could never be made to fit a portable.
