The following company sells the SIA III a serial interface for non-RS232
videodisc players that can be used with IBM-PC's, Amiga and Mac 
computers:

	Visual Database Systems
        614 Bean Creek Road,
        Scotts Valley,
        CA 95066
        (408) 438-8396

I have the SIA-III hooked up to my Amiga, works great. Of course
this will not help you to run Voyager's Mac software on a PC or
Amiga.

No connection with the above company etc...

Martin.
