Getting a Neptune to talk to an Apple ?

[RandomLemming 0]

Hi all,

I think this is gear related, but if not, please boot me somewhere else :)

I've just got an Alti-2 Neptune and I'd like to get it talking to my Mac. Does anyone know what equipment I'd need to do this ?

I've found a USB adapter made by Belkin (F5U230), but these seem to be a very old product and none of my local retailers carry this.

Thanks...

I' m no computer expert but if you own a intel chipped dual core mac you can download/install bootcamp which enables you to partition the hard drive and run microsoft[cough cough]xp on your mac

I've still got an old G5... If I hadn't got into Skydiving, I probably would have had an Intel by now, but computers seem less important to me these days :)

In any event, the problem with getting it to talk to the machine seems to be a hardware one. Paralog, the software I want to use (paralog.net) runs quite nicely on the Mac. But neither of my current macs come with Infrared ports, so I'm trying to find either a USB or PCI based infrared solution.

I could swear that my old 15" came with an IR port, but a handyman at the office stood on that one, so I don't have it any more :(

I use an Actisys 220+ serial dongle with a USB-Serial converter on PC.
