Powered up the VM for Windows7 and SUCCESS, it recognized the USB device, and configured it using the driver I had previously attempted to install.

Jump to the bottom if you want the solution rather than the long version.) My wife has a Vinyl Cutter that she uses to make these awesome signsgiftsetc.

Basically anything she can create in a drawing program she can cut out in adhesive vinyl.

One of her biggest concerns with moving to a MacBook (on loan from her daughter) was that CorelDraw wasnt available for OSX.

There is an open-source alternative - Inscape - that does work fairly well, but we werent sure if it would interface well with the cutter.

I was able to create a Windows7 virtual machine, install CorelDraw it and it works wonderfully.

I really like how Fusion integrates the Windows directories with the OSX ones - The Windows desktop is redirected to the OSX desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc all map correspondingly.

This is a Taiwanese company that makes a very nice cutter, but has a HORRIBLE web site and nonexistent customer service.

If you go to the download section of their website, most driverfirmware files do not have file names that tell you what model they are for.

You cant tell until you unzip the file - and in most cases they are using RAR compression.

Once I located and downloaded the 64 bit driver for Windows7, it would not install.

After connecting the cutter to the USB port, Windows said that it could not install a driver for that device.

I ran the driver installer that I downloaded and it failed to install.

After much searching and hair pulling, I found several references (not on their website) to GCC cutters having a GCC USB mode, as well as a Common USB mode.

None of the button combinations that were listed did anything on our cutter.

My next guess was that perhaps the firmware on the cutter (we have had it for several years) was obsolete.

After downloading a half-dozen of the firmware files, I found one that was for the Bengal BN-60 cutter.

I eventually came upon a document that mentioned turning off the cutter, pressing the Pause button, and turning it back on with the pause button held it.

The XP machine then said New Hardware detected and recognized the cutter as a GCC Jaguar cutter (a different model of cutter that GCC sells).

Tell Windows to auto-install the driver which it did since the driver I had on the XP box had multiple GCC devices supported.

This time the firmware upload utility worked and I successfully installed the 2.05 firmware to the cutter.

This version of the firmware enabled me to change the USB mode - through a series of button combinations - to the Common USB mode.
