I've got a recent iMac, on which I installed Snow Leopard, Parallels 6, and Win XP, to install PRS+.

The .18 installer runs, but hangs on the "The Sony Reader PRS-950 cannot be found", and won't install. Windows is seeing the Reader on USB - I can even run the Installer from the Reader disk. I get the same results when I run it under Crossover.

Has anyone successfully installed PRS+ on a 950 from a Mac, or does it need real PC hardware for some reason?
