Yes, as long as it is a version that implements Windows 95. I
have several customers running it that way, however it is not
usable as a scope controller from the Mac Starry Night. You'd
have to run the Windows flavor of Starry Night. The reason for
this is that ACP is actually an ActiveX/OLE automation
controller, exposing a set of COM objects which represent the
scope, the voice stuff, and other things. The plug-in for Starry
Night is a tiny ActiveX adapter DLL that converts Starry Night's
internal C++ based API into COM object calls that use ACP's
object model. You can't make COM calls across the Win-Mac border
(at least I don't _think_ so :-)).
