Starshoot IV on a Mac Platform

Hey all...

I'm trying to take my first steps into astrophotography beyond sticking your cell phone up to the eyepiece.

I bought a used Orion StarShoot IV camera, and have made every effort (installed an earlier operating system as required by the driver that Orion provides on their website, etc.) But I have had absolutely no luck getting the computer to recognize the camera.

I bought the used equipment from a very reputable person so I am confident that the camera is functioning.

Has anyone ever been able to make The Starshoot IV work on the Mac platform? And if you did, did you have to find a different driver?

I asked the same question over on cloudy nights a few days ago, and so far radio silence.

I'd love to know one way or the other.
