I have run the RIS 2.0 software under virtual PC (VPC 5.0, Windows 98)
with the older serial tower via a Keyspan USB/serial adapter. I was
never able to get the USB tower to work with VPC/RIS.
If you *really* want to run the RIS software, then I think you can buy a
serial tower from www.pitsco.com. If your Mac has USB ports (and no
serial ports), then you'll also need to buy a USB/serial adapter
(Keyspan is my brand of choice, but others probably work just as well).
