With the release of Virtual PC 3.0 by Connectix last week, I figured it would now be possible for me to use my machine at home (a Mac) to synchronize my Empeg - since VPC3.0 has USB support, theoretically, it should be able to work. However, when I tried this today, the following happened:

- The Emplode software installed without incident.
- When I plugged in the Empeg, it was recognized by Windows as an "empeg-car"
- So far, so good, right? But then, when I launched Emplode, it said "Your empeg-car is connected correctly", and then hung on the "synchronising" dialog box.

Anybody have any idea what could be done to make this work? Since the Virtual PC emulates very generic hardware, and since the unit certainly _is_ visible on the USB (as Windows saw it), it seems to me like it should work; so what am I missing? :)

Thanks...
