Encrypted memory stick

Hi all,

My employer have implemented an encryption tool to our PCs at work so as soon as you plug in a memory stick you are required to set a password before you can use the device. Likewise to extract data you need to input the password you set.

All ok except now that I am plugging into my Powerbook it seems the encryption software must be PC specific. The only two items showing on the device are:

SVOLBRO.EXE
EDISK.DAT

I have an entire folder on the device that I need to access but instead of a password window popping up when I plug the device in nothing happens.

Is there a way I can get round this or an application I can download that will act as an interface between my Mac and USB device?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

powerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

You'll have to contact the developer of the security software and ask whether there is a Mac-based version. If not, you're out of luck: any encryption security that's worth having is unbreakable for all practical purposes. Unless you run Windows in Virtual PC or some other emulator on your Mac, you'll have no options.
