Power Mac G4 — Digi 002 Requirements

With Pro Tools LE 7.0/7.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

Note – the best performance with Mac OS X and Digi 002 is achieved by using fast dual processor Macs. Slower, single processor Macs will work with Digi 002, but at a reduced track and/or plug-in count.

FireWire Drives and Power Mac G4 "FW800" Models

The following problem exists with the Digi 002 & Digi 002 Rack and the 2003 Power Mac G4 "FW800" models with FireWire 800 ports:

• Recording with the Digi 002 or 002 Rack to a FireWire drive connected to any of the 3 built-in Firewire ports on these computers can result in -6085 errors.
• On these computers, Digidesign recommends using a dedicated internal ATA/IDE drive for recording.
• The use of a Third Party FireWire PCI card is necessary with FW800 machines with Digi 002 or 002 Rack if the user wishes to either record to or boot from an external FireWire drive. If using FireWire drives with Digi 002 or 002 Rack & the 2003 Power Mac G4 FW800 models, a FireWire PCI adapter card must be used.
• This problem only occurs on the 2003 Power Mac G4 FW800 desktop models. All other supported computers can use FireWire drives connected to the built-in FireWire ports.
