Hi all
I just have a simple question...how should I set my system up? I have: Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz Digi002 Internal 160Gig HD (with Tiger on it) Internal 160Gig HD (spare) External FW HD (Currently my Audio Drive) I get Drive too slow errors and I still get CPU errors which I hate and was the reason for upgrading to the G5. What is the best setup? The G5 has 2 Firewire posts, 1x 400 Mbit/s and 1x 800 Mbit/s ( I know you guys know this ). The Digi002 has 2x Firewire 400Mbit/s Ports. I can have my audio drive as the Internal main drive, internal secondry drive or external Firewire drive 400Mbit/s or 800Mbit/s. I also have a 6 pin to 9 pin firewire cable. Any ideas? Is it better to run the 002 on the 800Mbit/s port or the Audio Drive? what need to work faster? Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers Cybercampbell |

Hi at this point in time according to sound on sound magazine you can't run pro tools with tiger they said this sohuld change in the near future, it appears digi design are a bit slow on catch up.
Take care Flash
