Well, haha, the
software works but what
fails is Java's USB interface, so you can't deploy your configuration to the device, nor can you check the device status and surface sensors. Yeah, I know, same result... bummer indeed!
What works instead is to run WinXP in a virtual machine, on top of whatever OS you're running. I've seen in the relevant thread that someone made a license-free solution using a sufficiently old version of Knoppix Linux, but that version isn't available as far as I could manage to research. If we could create this, then we'd have something that we can
legally publish on this site, which would be an immense boon to the (rapidly decreasing) community.

I remember this too and I also seem to remember that we already learned that it's 32-bit only. Yes, our beloved "future" technology is getting old... It's really a shame that nothing comparable has come along in the meantime, and no thanks to Apple for hogging the patents.
