I just acquired a new MacBook pro with the "Retina" display. I actually took a chance that it would not work with my 3000 since the MacBook Pro with the Retina display does not have a native FireWire port. All it has are USB-3 and Thunderbolt ports.
We know that FireWire-to-USB adaptors do not work so I did not expect that the FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adaptor would work either. Regardless, I loaded up Windows7 (32-bit -- nothing I run is 64-bit) and took a shot at it. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised that, not only did it work but it worked really well. Not a single DPC glitch the entire night. So, if anybody is hanging back from getting a new MacBook Pro because they are worried that it might not work with a 3000 or 5000, I can put your mind at ease. It works very well using the Apple FireWire-to-Thunderbolt converter. Oh, and the 2880 x 1800 pixel display is amazing ... assuming you have a magnifying glass. PowerSDR takes up less than 1/4 of the screen in native resolution. You can get ALL your programs on the screen at once, and that is on a 15" display. OTOH, you really MAY need a magnifying glass to read it. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
