A Macintosh G3/4 using VirtualPC will run any, with the exception of

VirtualPC mimics Intel hardware so Windows thinks it is on a Intel
machine.  On my Macintosh 9600/G3
I have printed from Windows through the Mac USB port, using a USB to
Parallel port adapter, to the parallel
connection on Epson printers.  I did it just to see if it can be done.
I'm using the CIS unit from nomorecarts, works great.

Hi William:

What I meant to ask was whether or not one could use Virtual PC "w/ DOS, as 
that's the program needed" and send the instructions to the MIS CFS to reset 
the chip.  I guess you would need the USB to Parallel adapter, but for about 
$25 you could probably pick up a used Virtual PC DOS version on Ebay and for 
$20 a USB to Parallel cord to enable the use of the DOS software.

All the best!
