[IRCA] Question re ELAD FDM S2 and Macbook

[Saul Chernos <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've settled on the ELAD FDM-S2 SDR. I've decided not to wait any longer for the
S3 mainly because I anticipate it will be expensive, and I'm happy to capture a
good-size segment of the FM band rather than the whole thing. The S2 is tried
and proven by quite a few of you, and I'm good with that.

That said, I want to use my current work Macbook Pro for this. And buy a new
Macbook for work and personal use. Problem is, I have not heard of anyone
running the ELAD FDM-S2 on the Mac platform. 

ELAD tells me, somewhat cryptically, that "You can try to install a virtual
machine under Mac Osx, example Bootcamp or Vmware fusion and download a sample
of our software to give it try. Please let me know if that will work."

This isn't entirely convincing - I am not terribly computer-savvy and am not
sure from their wording to me if they are 100% certain it will work. I hate to
buy another computer if it won't do the job. As a last resort I would buy a PC.
Perhaps, in that case, a lower-end PC. 

Any advice? is there anyone out there that has successfully and easily hooked
the ELAD FDM S2 to a Macbook?
