Suunto T-6&Training Manager and Mac Parallels

I (like many of you in this thread) finally had enough from Seattle and recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I set it up for dual boot and purchased Parallels also. Both work nominally as expected. I've had my T-6 and (regularly updated - now version 2.2.0.8) Training Manager Software for 3 years now and hoped I could get it working on the Mac. I installed it 'native' on the Windows boot and it does work like before so I can download my data if I boot into native Windows. Unfortunately, when I run Training Manager in the Parallels Window, it doesn't recognize the watch/computer connection. Training Manager opens fine, but there is no audible two-tone 'beep-beep' when the USB connector is inserted so I assume this is the reason that the STM software cannot make the connection. I'd love NOT to have to boot into native Windows just to download the training sessions (for that matter, I'd love not to boot into Window ever!).

I've looked back over the recent posts and it seems that perhaps others have made the Suunto software work using Parallels? Is this true? Is there any trick?
