Hi Ted, I wouldn't bother with an 'emulator' as such, instead what I'd do is go and grab some virtualisation software (personally I use Oracle's Virtualbox), and install a full copy of Windows inside that. You can then install whatever apps you like (as long as they aren't too graphics-hungry), and give that machine 'direct access' to whatever hardware devices you need to - serial ports, USB ports etc.
I'm not, as it happens, aware of any 'emulators' that let you run individual apps as if they were running in Windows, but a VM is cleaner (and you'll not have issues with drivers because every device becomes a generic device once the VM hypervisor starts passing it through). 73, and a firm left handshake, John (XLX) -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dauer, Edward Sent: 12 October 2016 17:21 To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Windows Emulator I give up. I have tried to be faithful to my decision of a few years ago, to swear off Windows and work exclusively with Mac OS. But there’s just too much that I want that isn’t available in OS – Spectrogram, for example, and any number of logging programs I’d like to try. It’s not time yet for a new computer, and I want to keep all of my Mac apps and files intact; so the question is what sort of Windows emulator would be best to install in the Mac computers. I use a 4-year old MacBook Air as a laptop and an even older iMac on my desk. Both now run OS X Yosemite and I will not upgrade to Sierra, in case that matters. Advice? Thanks in advance, Ted, KN1CBR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
