Now that I have an M200, MacBook, and Parallels, I can upload all my old LP, SP recordings via USB!

My setup is:

MacBook 2.0 Core2Duo, Parallels 2.5, Windows 2000, and SonicStage 4.3.

After I installed everything, the MD still didn't show up in SonicStage or in Windows. I leaned that after connecting the M200 to the Mac, I needed to select the "Hi-MD" in Parallels under the "Devices->USB" menu item. Then I needed to go into the Control Panel in Windows and run the "Add New Hardware". It recognized the MD and installed the appropriate USB controller. After that, the M200 showed up in SonicStage, and I was uploading recordings from as much as 8 years ago!

This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time (being a Mac MD user). Of course, I used to upload in real time via a toslink connection, but this is so much faster and convenient!

By the way, on this machine, Parallels runs excellent, way better than Virtual PC ever did (even on my PowerMac G5 dual 2.0GHz). I do not notice any slowing down at all on the Mac or in Windows for what I've been using it for. Furthermore, with the "Coherence" mode, all I see is the Windows application window and not the desktop. It's sweet.
