Hi this is probably a stupid question but I will ask it anyway.

I currently use Pro Tools 6.2.2LE on my G4 466 Power Mac. I have the DIGI001 interface but because I tend to only use samples and some midi I have hardly ever actually needed to plug a real mic or instrument into it.

I saw Powerbook G4s on sale and I want to get one and be able to run Pro tools on it so I can work on my sessions on the train/couch etc with headphones.

Will I be able to run my Pro tools LE software on the powerbook without a hardware interface? Or could I use M-Powered if I got that?

I seriously wouldn't need any ins/outs, if I ever have the need I can always use the Powermac and the DIGI001 anyway.

Also, assuming I can find it, will M-powered run without the dongle?

OK. 001 obviously needs to be installed in a PCI slot. Also is only supported up to PTLE 6.4. Keep that in the G4. If you want to run PT on the laptop you will need either mBox, 002, or an M-Powered approved FW interface. I think like the LE systems, M-Powered must have the interface hooked up to work.
