Digidesign-Qualified External Floppy Diskette USB Drives

Although not required with Pro Tools installation, a Digidesign-qualified external floppy diskette drive (USB floppy drive) may be required for installation of some Plug-Ins and optional software applications when used with Macintosh Blue & White G3, G4, or PowerBook models. (see the Optional Digidesign Software links on the main compatibiltiy page for each Pro Tools system)

The following external USB diskette drives are currently supported:

• Imation SuperDisk
• NewerTechnology uDrive
• SmartDisk USB Floppy Drive (model FDUSB-M, Color Kit Edition, formerly VST) Note: Information on VST brand products from SmartDisk can be found at: www.smartdisk.com

Apple's revised USB support allows for booting from a USB drive, therefore you should not boot up your system with an authorization disk inserted in the USB Drive.
