Native, as in not in an emulation or VM environment? Making the 5000 "work" is probably doable fairly easily (after all, the interfaces are standard MIDI and audio devices), however porting PowerSDR from VC2003 to something on the Mac is going to be an ordeal.... dttsp is vanilla C, and it should work with a recompile (I believe there are folks running dttsp on the Mac in native mode.. Frank AB2KT would know) You might be best off trying one of the java control engines that runs dttsp http://javaguifordttsp.blogspot.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/
