Although in this particular instance I have a high degree of confidence that the use of a VM (Parallels on an iMac running 10.11) and Windows 8.1 isn't the root of my problems. I can download firmware to the Kryoflux and calibrate it successfully. I can also pull raw flux transitions from the disc to a dump file, and watch the histograms plotted in the GUI whilst it does this. Had to pack the interesting stuff away this evening as I needed the space for modern stuff (fully loaded C7000 BladeCenter for anybody wondering exactly *how much* space ;-) but I'll have another go tomorrow morning if the kids will leave me alone for long enough. Apologies for the top-posting in my other two replies to the list. I did it without thinking as I'm using the Gmail web interface. -Austin.
