[Flexradio] PowerSDR on a Mac?

2012-11-11 Thread Ken Alexander
I'm planning on upgrading my computer and getting a Mac Mini (2.5 GHz quad core i7, 16 gig RAM). Does anyone have any experience running PowerSDR with Parallels or Fusion 5 on a Mac? While we're on the subject; is anyone running PowerSDR under Windows 8? Any gotchas there too? Many

Ken, I don't know about Fusion 5 but I know Parallels does not support firewire. I imagine Fusion does not either. I would suggest running Boot Camp and load Windows 7 on that partition. Bill AD5EW I was running My MacBook Pro with XP and On Nov 11, 2012, at 2:41 PM, Ken Alexander

Thanks for the replies guys! I neglected to mention I have a Flex 1500 so I would be using a USB port, not Firewire. Any problems with Parallels or Fusion using USB ports? Thanks again and 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS On 11/11/2012 3:41 PM, Ken Alexander wrote: I'm planning on upgrading my

New computer boxes can be so cheap that you can think of one as just an accessory for the rig. My last computer purchase was a dual-core 2.66 GHz Pentium eMachine with 512 KB mem and 160 GB HD for $299 about a year ago. Adding $30 memory and it is still pretty cheap. It even had serial and

Yesterday was a personally frustrating day in that three of my good students (all who have gotten their licenses, one who upgraded to general even) are moving and will not be returning to our school in the fall. That puts a dent in my science/robotics/ham-radio program at my school.
