    Mach 3 on a MacBook Pro?

    With the release of Boot Camp by Apple yesterday, the 'Dual boot' solution for OS X and XP or (win2k) I post the question, has anyone tried to run Mach 3 from an Apple MacBook Pro?

    -If so, USB to what? My system is setup with a Parallel port break out- what are the other options?

    -Thanks _Jon

    Bumping to re-address this question...

    I found the G-rex solution by gecko, that maybe the only way to go- anyone have other ideas?? I would really like to find out how to do this becuase it sure would be nice to have the design software and the running software in the same package. i could get work done while out, then plug it into the system when i get how to cut some peices...

    thanks

    You can't run Mach3 from the USB port. Mach4 and the G-rex uses ethernet, not USB.
