OK, I just got my Flex5000a. What followed was wild elation followed by puzzlement, and then crushing despair.
Before you start scratching your heads and wondering why I appear to be such an idiot, please understand that I don't have any windows computers. My one concession to windows is a copy of XP home running under Parallels on my MacBook Pro in order to run some IDEs for doing development on various microcontrollers. I just assumed (ha ha) that I could run PowerSDR under XP running as a guest OS in Parallels. So, all is well except -- Parallels doesn't support pass-through of the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) device. Apparently, neither does VMware. Any suggestions short of building a machine just to run windows so I can run PowerSDR? I suppose I could shift over to LinRAD but figured that it made sense to bring the radio up in plain-vanilla mode first. Suggestions? OTOH, it is a rather interesting-looking, expensive, inert lump, especially when you turn it around in order to marvel at all the connectors. (This has been a very frustrating day.) -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN Brian Lloyd - brian HYPHEN wb6rqn AT lloyd DOT com _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
