microtech EMS w/ MAC laptops?

now from what i hear it wont run on the OS from MAC but what about PC emulators, they run like windows. Im getting a new powerbook and this logging and EMS capability would clinch it!.
This program should be simple enough to run on a windows emulator.

any info on this please...

Sure as long as you can still manage to fake the macs USB port into thinking it's a standard 9-pin com port and the software doesn't crap out.

One option is to pick up an old laptop to use solely for the car...it's the only reason I keep my P166 w/64MB ram around!
