We've got a Levco board and TDS running on the Mac. The hardware seems
fine, but the TDS is STILL a beta version, and bug-ridden with very
poor documentation. This situation has not changed for over a year, 
despite constant communications (from me, not Levco). I'm at the stage
where I'm going to move to PCs if they don't release production software
soon.

I would not recommend anyone to buy Levco products.
