I just bought a Digidesign Chassis (7 slot), and i discovered in the 'TDM expansion Guide' that only G3 and G4 are supported, and that the 9600 is not 'recommended'.
BUT It works great with it :-) I’ve tested stressing sessions (64 track, with lot of plugs and automation) and it seems fine. Does anyone know why the 9600 is not supported? Is there a specific situation that create problems with this chassis, or Digidesign just didn’t tested it and prefer to claims that it’s 'not recommended'? Anymore infos would be greatly appreciated: I don’t want to change from my 9600 which is rock solid, full of serial and PCI slot, to a new G4. And it become quite difficult to find an ‘old’ (recommended) chassis. I would be happy if someone could confirm that this chassis works FINE with a 9600. my Config: - PowerMac 9600/G3 512Mega RAM - AttoSCSI+DC30+2VideoCard - 7 slot Digidesign Chassis(SBS DD007-R) - 1 MixCore + 2 MixFarm + 1 Scell - Protools 5.01 -------------------- Soif, MacMusic Webmaster

I just received an answer from Digidesign. They say that's it's not recommended because they disn't tested it with the 9600.
In my case, it seems to work fine. :) Any user experience? -------------------- Soif, MacMusic Webmaster

Not even a problem since January.
This chassis works fine with a 9600 (with NewerTech G3 card)!
