I haven't seen anybody suggesting freeBSD, another UNIX derivative. The very little I've played with it -- as the OS underlying FreeNAS -- it seems to accept all the UNIX/Linux commands I've thrown at it.

And MacOS is, in some respects at least, BSD with a pretty interface (but I don't know how much FreeBSD differs from "standard" BSD). So I wonder how difficult it would be to come up with a native MacOS version of PowerSDR.

Since a huge proportion of PSDR is actually developed on Linux and then
ported to windows
it's not as big a job to produce a Linux version as most would think.

The problem currently is getting the firewire hardware vendor to produce
the necessary code for the Linux
platform as I believe currently they only have a windows version.

A real time kernel on a Linux platform would be so much better than what
we currently have on windows.

Best 73.

I hope that by the time windoze 8 is released Flex would have moved on
to Linux
as I am tired of wasting my high spec PC on a joke O/S!
