Has anyone successfully installed PRS+ on a 950 from a Mac, or does it need real PC hardware for some reason?
You need a real Windows because a VM Windows can have issues with the timing of the USB ports. In the past, we have had people running a VM Windows brick their readers doing a firmware update. So don't do it. Use a real Windows setup.
