Hi!

I'm only running 10.2.8 and eager to upgrade, but I decided to wait for Tiger. Since there is no news (yet) of updates to my software and hardware (tracktion, tascam us-122, recycle) to support Tiger, I was wondering whether it's worth upgrading.

I know that when the orginal OS X came out, many people ran a dual boot of OS 9, enabling them to switch from one to the other easily. Is this possible with 2 versions of OS X?

If not. What are people's thoughts on the wait for updates? For panther, how long did it take manufacturers to produce support?

Thanks for your help,

D.

Good to hear! However, I would only like to this if I have to. Seems like a lot of hassle to hold onto an inferior operating system. Searching on some more general mac sites, I found a lot of people confident that software would be backwards compatible. I'm doubtful. What do you think?

If I upgrade to Tiger, removing Jaguar, will my Tascam US122 just stop working? Will tracktion die too? That would just be too much!

My intuition leads me to believe that these programs, hardware should be supported in a more advanced version of the os, but that their behaviour may not be the same. In other words bugs. Would I be right in thinking this?
