Some confusing Thunderbird is an email client too.

Most older PCs will still run Windows 10. If you can get Windows 7 onto
it, you can get the free upgrade to 10 and your IEEE card is probably still
supported.
If all else fails, you can run that computer "headless" (look into
something called "TightVNC" to run your old machine remotely from a new
one) and leave the old box under your feet or on a shelf somewhere.
Some higher end PCs will run something called Thunderbird. It probably has
enough throughput to run Firewire. Haven't looked, but you can check it
out.
You can also still get and old fashioned desktop for pretty cheap . I just
got an i3 on Craigs List for backup for my own Flex computing and it
upgraded to Win 10 just fine. 200 bucks. Don't know about IEEE as I now
run a 6300. But, you should be able, still, to make something like this
work.

Why do you make your decision on a "newer" computer? There are LOTS of
options to continue using your 5K. Neal will build you a "screamer" or you
can go cheap with a refurb on amazon or eBay with W7 and put in a FW card.
Don't give up on your 5K . It is still a GREAT radio.

Is it possible to use a Flex 5000 via a USB3 cable and a Firewire adapter?
I am very saddened by the devaluation of my Flex Radio and shocked to see
what upgrading to a 6500 would cost. Perhaps I should give away my 5000
and just buy a new radio, but I wanted to see if there's any way I could
still use it with a newer computer that no longer has Firewire.
Thanks, Dale Taylor

Dale,
USB3 can not support the through put of the FIreWire. As it can not the
number of full duplex channels .
