Using a KHR-1HV with a mac

Does anyone have any experience using a KHR-1HV with a mac computer?

OBVIOUSLY i don't mean running it under OS X, rather running H2H on an Intel mac which is running Windows XP via bootcamp?

I've had pretty good success running Robobasic and my RN1 in this environment, but thought it worth doing some research before dropping coin on the Kondo - as there's almost no chance of me ever owning anything other than a mac.

I used MacBook to control KHR-2HV and Manoi AT01. Manoi AT01 contains the same RCB3-HV controller as KHR-1HV. So I am sure you can use MacBook to control KHR-1HV.

thanks

I installed Windows XP on MacBook with BootCamp Diver disk, not by Parallels Desktop. I use standard Kondo USB/Serial Adapter.
