Understand.. But won't happen unless you use BootCamp and dual boot the Mac.. I bought a Quad core Dell, new on Ebay with Visa and 4 year warranty for $393.. Drop $100 for the OS, that is only $293 or so for the HW, just about give away..
The reason PowerSDR is so tight with .NET, it was a migration path that was the easiest from Visual Basic.. Linux was not to the current state, and Java had not proven itself either as being able to run a realtime device.. Also the sound card manufacturers at the time would only support Windows (SDR-1000 required an external Sound card) , none of the other popular OS could support all that Windows could and still does at this time.. Still 90% of the world's PCs are running Windows of some version.. Apple is still trying to catch up, but afraid that Linux will overtake Apple in the % of OS running.. Maybe in the near future, we will be able to run Linux or XXX OS from a memory stick plugged into the rear, who knows... 73, Dudley Brian Lloyd wrote: > > On Jul 16, 2008, at 2:08 PM, Dudley Hurry wrote: > >> Brian, >> >> PowerSDR will not run natively on the MAC OS, and I don't think that >> due to the heavy MS dependence, will it until the New Console is >> ready for beta testing, projected first half of next year.
