Basic WideFS questions....

[AK Mongo]

Pete,

In the near future I will be upgrading to a Win7 64 machine. I have some simkits instruments that connect via a controller card (ccu2) that are only compatible with a win32 OS. This is a known issue, and Simkits seem to have no interest or ability to fix it

Would widefs allow one to run the controller card on a networked 32 bit machine, and read data from fsuipc on the 64 bit machine?

I have read the user guide, and it appears that is exactly the kind of thing Widefs is supposed to do. Do you have any cautions for me about how that process may work?

Thanks,

Reid

Yes if the Simkits driver is an EXE file which interfaces to FS via FSUIPC, because WideFS simply reproduces that interface on the networked PC. The SimKits driver won't notice the difference.
