initial hookup

How do I hook up my Vantage Pro to my Mac. There does not appear to be any external ports on the Vantage Pro. Lance

You need to purchase a computer interface from Davis, this used to only be available in the package that included their software, but sometimes you can find one on eBay.

If you get an interface that has a serial port, you'll also need a serial port to USB converter for your Mac.If you get one that has a USB port you'll need to get drivers that support whatever chip they used (their usb solution just builds the serial port to USB converter in to the cable, there are only a couple of major vendors of that chip and they have Mac-compatible drivers, I don't have that cable so I can't say which ones you'll need).

The interface plugs in to a special port inside of the console's battery comparment.
