OS 10.4 - making a windows driver work on a Mac

I have a Verizon LG VX8800, also known as the Venus. The driver it comes with only works for windows, but I was wondering if there was a way to make it work on my mac. I haven't been able to find on for a mac, and I emailed LG and they said they weren't allowed to make on for the mac?! I know it's probably not possible, but I thought I would check. There are some very smart people on here! Thanks

No it will not work

As for not being able to make a driver for he mac, that is quite frankly a complete lie

It is just that LG cannot be bothered to write a simple script to make their phones work with isync

I have even edited a phone profile myself to get a nokia to work, so if I can do it - then LG can

send LG this link so that they have no excuse
