Any solutions here? I can't find any hardware that is Mac compatible. I guess the next question is will ForScan software even work on OSX?

It's possible (and easy) if you have a Mac that is new enough to run bootcamp and which has enough space to create a windows partition.

Once you create the partition, you can install a free version of windows then install Forscan. Was super easy following a few guides on Forscan forums.

The suggested free space is about 50gb but I went with less since Forscan is the only app I will ever use on windows. I also picked a cheap USB connector on Amazon which has worked fine.

I've heard there is a way to run an emulator and get the same effect, but that was more techy than I wanted.

So what you're saying is I should install this on my fiance's windows computer? Got it. 🤣
