Ok got a sidewinder and a field link . Now my problem. i have a MAC laptop. anyone know of a way i can download and run castle's link with this thing????

I think there's a program called Wine for Macs that allows Windows programs to run.

edit: Check this out.

Wine doesn't work with more complex programs, that utilizes USB drivers. Or at least that's my experience. I have a small netbook for programming my Mamba monster and xcelorin ESC's.

You'll need to either install windows via bootcamp, or install it on a virtual machine. VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion are the ones I can remember at the top of my head.

Bootcamp is really the best way.

damn. have to have my buddy do it for me. don't want to buy a notebook.

My CastleLink works well with VMWare Fusion. Both my XP and Windows7 VMs run the app just fine. I have an old netbook running XP - it's slow compared to my VMs but saves me from taking my macbook pro out if I need to make adjustments @ the track.
