windows drivers on mac?

gerry87 · 2005-12-31 02:26:05

Is there any way to get USB things made for windows working on macs? This is the thing http://www.dataste.com/blog/wordpress/?p=905 It says it works on macs, but the cd doesn't seem to work. This is probably a stupid question, but hey, worth a shot :D

Well the CD is probably using installers geared for the Windows environment, Mac OS wouldn't know what to do with them as Windows and Mac don't share common libraries... Windows drivers compatible on Mac, pff, I personally highly doubt it man.

Windows drivers will certainly not work on Mac. Not a chance. There may be Mac drivers available tho; have you checked the maker's website?
