I have a home weather station WH1081 which uses the program cumulus on the PC, does anyone know of a mac compatible software so i can connect the station via USB to the Imac?

Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Hi Paulc1964au;

Have you asked the vendor who made the weather station?

You could, of course, install Bootcamp, or Parallels, etc. and run windows on your machine. That should allow you to run your weather thingy. Maybe a bit more expensive than you planned...

Cumulus is a generic software package for weather stations someone posted earlier about a coms port issue using one for a mac therefore i am assuming there must be something available.

dont really want to install windows on this machine. I am a pc user who bought an Imac for the wife but am evaluating whether my next laptop will be a macbook pro but if i have to install windows i might as well stay with a pc based laptop
