...if I'd known the lack of Mac support from empeg/Rio was this bad...

Y'know, the easiest way out of your dilemma might be to just buy and old PC, use it only for updating empeg software. I know that you have already spent several thousand dollars just on the stereo in your wonderful car, plus uncounted thousands more in the car's restoration. A quick check of ebay shows literally hundreds of suitable used PCs priced at $50 or less, a pittance compared to what you have already spent.

I think it might ease your frustrations considerably. :-)
