Hi All: FWIW, I did get the Flex firewire driver and PSDR running on the Quad
Core here finally.
A few Notes: Thanks a LOT to Paul who did the "to the letter" of what
to do to set the Legacy Driver
in Win7. Paul20 wrote:

One thing to remember is to make sure and install the
.NET Framework version(s) for PSDR to start up correctly.
(My memory suffered a bit and it took a few frustrating
startups before I remembered that one hihi)
I also discovered that each time you go after a drive access
for some reason, the Flex firewire driver sample rate would revert back to
48k....sooo when starting PSDR I have to change the sample rate back to 192k.
It seems to stick once you have PSDR running. I also now have the buffer
sized to 1024 and safe mode 1, processor use is at about 12-18% and the frame
rate in the display tab of PSDR is at 50 fps. Running the Test Branch 1.19.0
SVN 3033
Here is my present setup: Genuine Intel MB and Quad core Q6700 processor
2.66 Ghz
4 gig ram
64 bit Win 7 build 7100 (RC) Dual
Boot with XP Pro on the other drive.
Using all onboard "stuff" ie: Video, Lan,
Firewire, etc.
One quick Question, could someone reiterate the link(s) to the free vac and
comport programs that seem to work in 7? tnx.
Onward and upward.... thanks to all the Flex folks and fellow "Flexers" one
super environ to run in hihi.
