I don't believe there is any software for the MAC and the Flex 5000A. You might be able to run PowerSDR using Parallels. But, what kind of problems you might encounter may make it a lot of trouble getting things to work correctly.
I don't think the Flex Firewire driver would be compatible with the Firewire interface in the Mac either.
Please post what you are able to do to get this going ( if you do).

This might be a duplicate post. I just posted, but it seems not to have uploaded.
I have successfully run a Flex 3000 with a Mac Mini and KE9NS under Boot Camp. I see no reason why it wouldn't work with a MacBook Pro and 5000A.
I actually purchased a used Mac Mini exclusively for this purpose a while back in to work portable Since the Mini has both native Firewire as well running natively on 12VDC, it allowed me remove the Mini's internal AC power supply and then rewire the internal connections directly to leads connected to a battery.
Goocd luck and let us know how it turns out.

I can confirm that KE9NS software works fine when run on Mac Mini under Boot Camp.

Thanks for responding, I found another source of Mac software called Dog Park. It was around several years ago so I'm asking them if they have a legacy version. It can be setup for remote service I believe. I'll post what I find on this and I have KE9NS up on the screen now. If you have links to the software post em Tony. Thanks!0
