Okay - I downloaded the Trial of SCAL 3 for Mac to my mac laptop. It installed successfully. I can access the software and use its functionality UNTIL I try to cut to my Cougar with it. Same problem as I had with my PC version of SCAL 3. It cannot find my Cougar machine! Machine is set up, online with baud rate checked, etc.
I then went back to my PC laptop with my MTC software on it and hooked that back up to my Cougar and sent a test cut file from my PC again to my cougar from MTC. MTC finds my cougar and cuts to it as it always has. I am using same usb cable, same usb plugin spot on the computer with both MTC and SCAL. Obviously can't try MTC from my MAC computer as Andy doesn't find it necessary to create a MAC version. So I know computer, usb plug and cable and Cougar are talking to each other and working with MTC (can also get Cricut machine to to work with this PC and MTC).
I have sent an updated email to Brandon to let him know this as well. Thanks.
On the same note - Dawn has created a post in the Software -->Sure Cuts A Lot discussion area of this forum for anyone to post to if they are having problems with their Cougars/Lynx and SCAL 3 so that she can better monitor the problems with Brandon. You can find that post (SCAL Problems) here:
