Thanks BooksonBoard, I have now managed to attach my 505 to my imac. Now the Windows beast may meet it's end.

Footnote for those having problems, as I did, transferring books from the mac ADE into the reader. Click on Documents on the right hand side of the 'Dock', now click on the Digital Editions Folder. Drag and drop book titles from the Finder folder onto the Ebook icon on your desktop.

I realize it is not the most inexpensive of solutions, though you might want to look at using a program on Mac OSX called "Parallels". The program allows virtualization of Windows directly from inside OSX. It runs amazingly fast and supports recognition of hardware devices that are only readable with MSFT. Perhaps give the free trial a go and see how it works for you. I havn't personally tested Sony's Library software yet with the program, though come the weekend I might have some time. Anyways, thought I would put it out there as a potential solution.
