Hello:
We established together with Chris, HB9BDM, that the Mac mini, core duo,running a 1.66GHz cpu, 2GB of RAM, will work flawlessly with a combination of ATLAS +JANUS+OZY and a SDR 1000. Thr Mac mini is operating under Windows XP + "boot camp" an additional software supplied by Apple that will be an integral part of the upcoming Apple OS 1.5 .
The mini is featuring 4 USB ports plus one Flexwire port, The HPSDR-setup was running the pertinent PowerSDR -Software plus the HPSDR-drivers. The system performed to our delight. The setup wath without major problems , however it should be carried out with care.
As soon as the FLEX 5000 is available we are going to repeat the test using the FlexWire pot. We do feel, that the Apple Mac mini offers a very capable and nice package as a computer in this systems environment.
