For all the replies on my question about avionics upgrades, Thank you.  Now I have more to think about while I sand the fiberglas smooth.

Subject: Avionics-List: updating avionics
From: John Long <johnlong63(at)gmail.com (johnlong63(at)gmail.com)>

I am finishing my RV-8. I have  DYNON 180 plus HS-34 and  SL-30, GTX-327.
with a 696.

All have capability to be up dated in the aircraft.

My old PC based lap top died a couple of years ago and I now have a MacBook.

Dynon says if I am running bootcamp with Windows 7 installed the updates
should work fine.  I have bootcamp and am debating purchasing Windows 7.

Does anyone have experience using this set-up?  Are there things I need to
look out for or should I get a PC based laptop to take to the airport for
the upgrades?

John,

I too own Mac computers and have the same upgrade issues. To solve them,
I bought a $70 desktop from Craig's list for the airport. I can download
files to a Mac and take them to the PC via thumb drive.

I am not familiar with the Dynon upgrade process; however, my system
uses an SD card for updates, which means the PC can be anywhere.

John,

Do not use Bootcamp. You would have to reboot the MAC whenever switching Ope
rating Systems. Better use virtualisation: Parallels for about 80 Dollars or
 Virtualbox for free. You install Win 7 in a so called virtual container. It
 allows you to run both at the same time without the hassle to partition the
 hard disk and rebooting all the time.

What is the method for updating the device?  Is it a simple matter of transferring
files or does Dynon require a proprietary software program to do it?  I have
Blue Mountain equipment and it uses a simple FTP procedure to update files.
So, any computer with a good FTP client can do it.  If Dynon uses proprietary
software, all I can say is, "Shame on them."

Having said that, running bootcamp on a Mac is the same thing as having a Windows
based machine.  In some early testing, Windows ran faster under bootcamp than
it did on some Windows machines.  I use Parallels on my Mac and that allows
me to run Windows in a window on top of OS X.  Much more convenient.

I see no reason to buy a specialized machine.

I have a similar situation, and I used Bootcamp to set it up. You do
have to reboot to load Windows, but I only do it once or twice a month
so it's really no big deal. I bought a cheap copy of Windows on eBay and
it works fine. I wouldn't waste my money on Win 7 unless I had to. The
Mac is so much better that I really only use Windows for one program.
Check with Dynon and see what version they require to do the upgrades.

I could not agree more about Mac vs. PC.  Every time I use my Fusion to use a PC
program, I am reminded how crumby the Microsoft world is ... and how simple
the Mac is.  I switched when Microsoft went to that Never Never land of charging
for a "downgrade" from Vista to XP.

waste my money on Win 7 unless I had to. The Mac is so much better that I
really only use Windows for one program. Check with Dynon and see what version
they require to do the upgrades.

Good luck.

Yes, that is what I do ... when I am forced to use a PC program.

I bought "vmWare fusion 3" . It was an easy download.
Then I loaded windows 95 and now I can drag and drop

John,

Do not use Bootcamp. You would have to reboot the MAC whenever
switching Operating Systems. Better use virtualisation: Parallels for

about 80 Dollars or Virtualbox for free. You install Win 7 in a so
called virtual container. It allows you to run both at the same time
without the hassle to partition the hard disk and rebooting all the
time.

John,
Given how cheap Windows laptops (with Windows 7) have become, why leave yourself
open to any hassles, particularly ones that may not be obvious, until you fire
them up in the aircraft.
I have observed some less than satisfactory results running the Windows emulation
on a Macbook.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton
