Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me! I now feel like my best bet would be to use a proper PC machine rather an a Mac and a virtual one on top of it.

Hello everybody. Newbie from the UK, here. I've got into the mini disc world this year by purchasing a Sony MZ-N510 (Type-S). The unit is in good condition and I don't have any issue reading discs, or recording from an output line... except that I cannot connect it to either my Macbook pro or Mac mini. Every time I plug the USB cable, it tells me "USB Accessories Disabled: Unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices." Because of that, I can't even use my Virtual Machine (Win XP) to bypass the device recognition. I have used both plugged in the N510 with AA batteries and a 3V power adaptor. I even tried increasing the power input, but to no avail. Help, please!
