Thanks for the link!

I don’t typically like running emulators. If I decide to get the service manual I could use my work PC to open it, then once I have it in PDF format I can open it with any Mac PDF reader (Books, Acrobat, Word, Pages etc.)

But, as you pointed out, there’s always a way.
If you get the digital version it works on Mac. Works fine on my Mac, iPad & iPhone. My fancy windows laptop just sits here and only used for FORScan edits.

But, cd’s are so 1970. I can’t view them on my iPad or my new laptop.
But you can hang it from your rear view mirror!

Ooooooo…..shiny!

(and the ‘70s were the prime of my life…..I think…..)

Ive had the full workshop manual for a month now. Its in digital pdf format and its saved in my macbook & iphone. Close to 15000 pages if you include the wiring manual.
Interested in 'recouping' some of what you paid for that manual? We both win.

Not only Windows but Windows 3.1. The interface on this must really suck....

I work for the Feds, it's amazing most of our infrastructure didn't die in Y2K. Our engineering applications are all COBOL based and I remember Dilbert poking fun of it as ancient in 1999 when I was in the 6th Grade.

Has anyone purchased the CDs? Is there a difference or preference to each?

Thanks,

I finally went to use the CD and boy what a clunker. This thing is so out dated, it makes a paper manual look ultramodern. I couldn't get it to display properly but I found a procedure to load it onto my hard drive that fixed the issue.

Skip right ahead to post #34 for step 7, the important part is the

Connect a temporary external CD reader, make an ISO file and store on your internal SSD, and mount as a virtual drive. Then you can use your laptop w/o CD.

The CD is protected by SecuROM and cannot be converted to an ISO image.

More funding here for sharing a digital version @2Jeeps&PatriotX1 .

Also a Mac guy here. Have used Parallels extensively in the past, but prefer not to. Where does the pdf version come from, I assume not the CD version? So even if I wanted to buy my own it doesn't seem to be available.
