Re: [Flexradio] PowerSdr on Windows7
I wouldn't suggest even thinking about running PowerSDR in a virtualized server. Aside from the just getting the Firewire to work, virtualization and real-time operation do not fit in the same sentence.

It seems that Microsoft is reluctant to completely let go of its most successful operating system, Windows XP, which they now no longer fully support.

This approach has a number of benefits for Microsoft, including the fact that they don't have to include lots of code in the main core of Windows 7 to maintain backwards compatibility with older applications, making Windows 7 leaner and faster. 73, George, G3NHX. ___ 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://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.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://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Also, for those testing Win7, PLEASE report the problems with the Firewire driver and having to use legacy drivers in Win7 to get the FLEX Firewire driver to work to Microsoft. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Paul20 Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 3:12 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] PowerSdr on Windows7 The important words are new generation amd and intel chips I have tried this and it only runs on chips that support virtualisation..
