Has anyone successfully installed PRS+ on a 950 from a Mac, or does it need real PC hardware for some reason?
If it's a recent iMac then it is real PC hardware as well as Mac... why not use Boot Camp for your Win XP and then you can boot as a real PC or (for other things where the direct hardware link is less important) use Parallels from OS X to access the Boot Camp Windows C: drive...
