RS Logix 5000 on Mac

[martyndwn]

I am thinking of getting a MacBook Pro, but I want to be able to run RSLogix 5000 through VMware fusion and connect to a Compactlogix 1769-L35E,.
Has anyone got any experience with this?

as the new MacBook Ethernet connection is via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter, does this cause any problems?


Thanks

Can't say for certain but I would think it won't be an issue to use the thunderbolt port. Besides you can always use a USB Ethernet adapter too.

I'm curious how well a Mac can run Rockwell software.

i don't like apple computers but...

I have seen one guy at work do this and it's fine.

You need to use a VM host.
I have an early 2008 Mac Pro and run VMWare's Fusion 5. I know it worked under the earlier versions of Fusion.
