I just bought a G4 DP machine also, and am using Logic Gold 6. I started by using Emagic's EMI 6|2 interface (came with the package deal I bought) But it was VERY limited, and questionable audio quality.
After comparing options, I ended up just buying the new MOTU 828 MkII . This new version of this Firewire interface has up to 10 inputs and 10 outputs of audio simultaneous, including 2 microphone preamp'd inputs and 8 line level inputs, 10 line level outputs, headphone output, and MIDI in/out port, as well as some digital inputs/outputs (for connecting to DAT machine or a digital mixer, etc.) And they did not raise the price for the MkII version. Pretty darn cool!
I have tested almost everything and it works great, except the MIDI port was dropping/missing notes as Logic was playing a sequence to one of my sound modules. I found MOTU had a new driver on their website so I installed it (MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE INTERFACE OFF WHEN YOU INSTALL THE NEW DRIVER... or you will disable the interface and have to clean all the driver/console/preference files off your hard drive and have to reinstall!) This fixed the MIDI problem fine.
I would highly recommend this new one from MOTU...dollar for dollar this is a great pack of features, and seems to work well with Logic so far....
