I run Legacy on my iMAC using VMware Fusion and Windows 7. As noted earlier, all my stuff is in the Windows side of the system; however, there is a feature in Fusion that you might explore - Unity. It is some sort of feature that allows crossfeed, but I have no idea how it works. You might try talkign to the VMware techies. I had it working one day, but it got in the way of doing genealogy and I haven't revisited it.
