Several months ago the question of a Mac editor came up as well - at
that time I suggested using BC Manager from a Windows guest OS too,
but no response came to that suggestion, so it may have been total
nonsense, but let me try to explain again:

Personally I use Sun's (free!) VirtualBox "virtual machine"
application (see virtualbox.org) to run several kinds of guest
operating systems (other Windows versions, several Linux
distributions, and the new OpenSolaris) under my host OS (Windows XP).
It's helped me a lot in developing BC Manager.
In this situation, VirtualBox's USB facilities are very good (at least
for Windows XP and Vista guests): after some fiddling, I've even
managed to install Behringer's USB drivers within the guest OS and
then run BC Manager from that guest OS "as normal".

There is also a VirtualBox version for Mac OS hosts. Using that
program you might be able to run e.g. Windows XP as a guest OS on your
Mac, and if you can get the USB connection to work from the guest OS
you might then be able to run BC Manager from that guest OS. Kind of
complicated, no doubt, but if you're really desperate...

Mark.
