Run Flex 5000a and Flex-6300 at same time?

I ordered a Flex-6300 and plan to use it on HF and 6 meters. I currently have a Flex-5000a with the VHF/UHF board and also run a 1296 transverter. I am assuming that I can run the 5000a and the 6300 at the same time on the same computer since one is firewire and the other ethernet. Is this the case? I was able to do this with the 5000 and the 1500 as long as I opened the 1500 first (USB vs Fireware). I'd like to be able to run them both during the June VHF contest (6 meters on 6300 and 2 meters and up on 5000a).

Why not? Different hardware and different software! But needs a powerful computer and graphic board.0

Won't be on the same bands. One radio on HF/6 meters and the other on the VHF/UHF bands. Used to run 2 instances of PowerSDR with the 5000 and 1500 running at the same time. Never had any issues with graphics or computer speed.

Yes, no problem. I do it all the time when testing the FLEX-6000.0
