or, you can really get a PC box for nothing or close to it also.... and
control it via VNC from the mac so you don't need a monitor. Still, not
ideal, that's how my PC is set-up, but I've never bothered to get the
special soundcard/midi cable and try it for the A-112.
 It's a very useful module without this anyway, and Doepfer never claimed
Mac support was in the future, so, while Mac support would be nice, (and
perhaps I wouldn't have sold my Regelwerk if it had mac support) it was
never even hinted at so I can't be upset about it.
Keep in mind the main problem is that these cheap PC's have very loud fans,
so it may not be something you want to leave on all the time.
best,
