Why not just run Wine, crossover, parallels/ vmware fusion or boot camp for the Windows apps? I tried it in vm fusion myself and so far it seems to work fine.

But seriously: you have to weigh the horror of "befriending Bill Gates" (I admit it sounds gruesome) against the benefits - in this case of using BC Manager rather than having to program each and every button and encoder on the BCR manually.
Why don't you first try to learn the BCR2000's capabilities and set it up on a "real" Windows machine via BC Manager? Then when you're comfortable with things, connect the BCR to your Mac for the "production stage" - you might not have to tweak the BCR's settings very much any more at that stage, so that the lack of a nice BCR Mac editor isn't such a problem.Just a tip: do yourself a favor and immediately use the standard numbers used by the BCR itself in preset dumps. See e.g. my "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf" (available from http://mntn-utils.110mb.com ), section 17.

Again: try the document mentioned above for many interesting (and even more uninteresting...) details on the BCR2000. You might also try Royce Craven's "SecretBC.pdf" (available via this Yahoo group's file section in the "Documentation" folder).
