Have any of your members heard of software that will let the PM3 monitor transfer data to Apple Macintosh OS (9 or X) or the Unix platform? Any information will be gratefully received.

I haven't seen any documentation on whether or not this software's ever been successfully built on a Mac, although my cursory glance through the docs hasn't turned up any reason why it wouldn't build and install cleanly.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.rowtheboat.com/' target='_blank'>PC-Rower</a> looks to be the most immediately usable of the two. If the developer is able to get the full rewrite he plans, it may also end up with as much potential as PM2Erglib. Also, PC-Rower is confirmed to work on most Unix platforms (Linux, Solaris, and Mac are specifically listed, but it probably works on any BSD).<br /><br />As a note, I've not yet used either, since I've not yet felt the need to take my rower online. I can't really attest to the level of functionality either provides (especially as it compares to the software that comes with the rower - I don't run Windows, so I wouldn't have a basis for comparison even if I'd used either of them).<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br />Venotar
