Hello Matthias
                    Your idea looks interesting. Which Einstein are you referring to ? The IOS version ?

Einstein would appear to macOS as if it was a physical device connected via a USB-to-serial adapter. Administrator privileges would be required once to install the driver.

However, there are no serial ports on the Mac anymore, and so I don't have an app that communicates with Einstein. Which app would you use on the host side, since Classic hasn't been available anymore for such a long time. NCX is an option, and I had that working for a while. Would it help if I picked that up again?
