If you want to run your Holley Terminator or Sniper proprietary Windows only EFI software on your MacBook laptop, this video will show you how. This includes an interview with William Crutchfield, the creator of what we believe is the first USB-C driver software that allows a Windows Virtual Machine on a Macbook to communicate with the Mac's USB ports and the Holley CAN-Bus cable. This video will also explain the necessary steps before getting the driver, namely the adapter that you'll need to add to the Holley CAN-Bus cable, and a couple methods of emulating Windows 10 or 11, since the Holley software is Windows only. Liked below are all the parts and software I reference.
