    Is anyone out there running Delftship under VMware Fusion on a new (M1, Apple Silicon) Mac? If so, what were your experiences? I used it for model yacht design on my Intel 27" iMac but got obsoleted and moved to a 24" M1 iMac. Thanks.

    Cheers,

    Earl

    Well, I solved my problem for $150. I bought a refurbished Lenovo mini Windows 10 machine off eBay and connected it to my 24" M1 iMac using duetdisplay:

    Duet - Remote Desktop, Second Display, Drawing Tablet, and More https://www.duetdisplay.com/

    I get a nice, crisp display and the mirroring lets me control the Windows machine using my iMac trackpad.

    Cheers,

    Earl
