Like it says on their web site. right?

From the little bit of reading on the S90 I've done, it seems it should be able to 
accomodate W2b/W3b (bulk dump) files. Check out this thread:

What exactly is the problem?

what?!?!?!? This makes no sense, what does OS X have to do with your problem? OS X is 
hardly a debacle in itself by any reasonable standard.

W2b/W3b files cannot be loadd into an AN1x. This format is specific to the Motif/S90 
series w/ a PLG plug-in card, just as you have indicated you use. 

Wh not load the W2b/W3b files into the PLG150-AN as intended THEN use AN1xEdit, AN 
Expert Editor, etc. to retrieve the files in a bulk dump to .AN1 or .ANS format?

You really need to clarify what exactly the problem is and what steps you've taken so far. 
Your post comes across as a rant without any substance. Sorry, not trying to be mean.
