Bitterly curse at the powers that be and accept your fate. ;D

Sadly no. It is a Java program (I think), so in theory it could  
probably be recompiled for Mac OS X, but it does not look like such a  
thing will be happening any time soon. E-mu has moved on from the P2K/ 
Command Station hardware and is now an audio card / software synth  
company.

No, that would have been a good idea though.

> Is the OS upgrade worth all this trouble?

YES. Version 2.0 is much better than 1.x - XMIX and the extra shift  
functions are very useful.

The safest bet is to find a friend (easy) with a Windows computer  
(still easy) that has a MIDI interface (harder) and is willing to  
install E-Loader on their system and help you update the OS. I would  
convince said friend that this is a one-time deal and they can de- 
install the software as soon as you are done.
