John - I am not an Apple user, so this depends on my memory of other peoples experience. So, if I remember the issue, it is something on the order that Parallels (and other virtual environments do not support firewire. It is just not present. And that bootcamp does work.
Anyway, the Parallels Support people should be able to clear up the details. Bootcamp is the way to run a Windows / Firewire application. 73 Ken AC0HO On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 1:56 AM, John Paolucci <jpa...@me.com> wrote: > I installed power SDR in Parallels 9 with Windows 8.1on my Macbook Pro > Retina to Flex 3000.
