mbox with an old G4
i have an older powerbook g4 400mhz and i would like to get an mbox. i
read on their website that digidesign didnt test any powerbooks lower than the 800mhz model. does anyone have any experience with pro tools or an mbox on a slower g4 system? |

The current Protools might have some issues, but the Mbox itself will work fine, though older software may be required, though quite unlikely. |

Don't do it I have a g4 400 and can not get a m-audio 410 firewire to work relibly though everyone tells me it is not the 400 vs 500 speed, nobody has found the real problem either G |

Dunno, I'm running a digi 001 on a 500MHz G4. Of course it has a PCI card rather than USB for an I/O. I did review the Mbox and on that review I used the G4, so I know it works. I probably didn't push it to all 24 (now 32) tracks. Regards, Ty Ford -- Ty Ford's equipment reviews, audio samples, rates and other audiocentric stuff are at www.tyford.com |
