All the Virtual Machine (VM) stuff\n'just works' under Parallels Desktop (www.parallels.com). It really is a\nuniversal run time platform when special hardware peripherals are not a\nfactor. Parallels is a third-party app that lets you create and maintain\nVMs containing guest OSes, and to selectively connect VM peripherals to\nthe host hardware peripherals (or software emulations thereof).\n\nI'm running WinXP, Win98, FreeBSD and SuSE Linux on this machine in\naddition to Mac OS X, and with no appreciable speed penalty in the VMs. In\nfact the Windows apps seem more responsive than on some new Windows\nworkstations that we have at work. Now I can run my obsolete apps, ARRL\nWindows based apps, and my favorite Mac OS X logger and Sat software on\nthe one platform.\n\nI'm running MacDoppler Carbon on OS X with rig control USB-Serial adaptor\n(2303 chipset) to a Kenwood TS-2000. That is all seamless. For that reason\nhave no Windows Sat programs on the system, but on the strength of your\npost I thought I'd at least see if could connect the Windows COM port to\nsee through the USB-Serial adaptor to external hardware. I can confirm\nthat it works.\n\nIn addition to Parallels, you need a small freeware app SerialClient from\nhttp://eudyptes.com/SerialClient.php to hook the USB device to a temporary\nfile. Parallels then connects that file to the COM port that Windows sees.\nWindows thinks it has standard COM hardware. I was able to connect to\nterminal configuration on my Sat Trak IV from Windows Hyperterminal. A\nnice little side benefit is that SerialClient gives you a real time view\nof the serial streams for debugging.\n\nI'd imagine (hope) there will be similar solutions for the parallel port\nusing USB-Parallel adaptor.\n\nHope this helps,\n-Nick\nVK2ZTY\n\n\n>From: Richard Lawn <[email protected]>\n>Date: 25 November 2006 01:00:39\n>To: <[email protected]>\n>Subject: [amsat-bb] New Macs\n>\n>\n>Anyone tried using the new Intel based Mac computers to run PC Sat programs\n>such as SatPC32 and Nova?
