What oximeter to use with SH and Mac?

Post by glowradar » Mon Jun 29, 2015 9:58 am

I bought a Centac CMS/50D+ and it crashes my mac computer every time I try to load it in SH.

Is there an oximeter that works better?

That one just doesn't work with Macs, so stop trying.

Which drivers/which Macs?

Do you mean it works after using Boot Camp or Parallels on the Mac Intel?

no... it works natively, remember, sleepyhead is written on a mac, things work on mac *first*.
