[Ham-Mac] CQ MMTTY/Mac Users

[Rick Prather]

Dick,

When you use Parallels are you using a Parallels installation of  
Windows or using you Boot Camp partition.

I ask because if you are using your BC partition, as I am, I would  
suggest you try MMTTY booted directly in to BC.

It should work fine but if it doesn't then that helps figuring out  
where to look.
