i'm hesitant to ditch my 9600, but i would like to add a software sampler to my setup. does anyone have experience with a halion or other such product on this machine? i could add a vst wrapper, since i use digital performer. i would also like to use my tdm environment. maybe i'm asking too much from the old 9600?

You have to get a G3 or G4 accelerator (NewerTech and XLR8 cards run peacefully with PT)
But don't dream too much... (i have this config): The 9600 bus speed is slow (45 or 50MHZ) and this seriously limits the CPU power: don't excep to have the same power as a 'true' G3 or G4, but this really helps.... On the other hand, you could get SampleCell TDM wich IMHO do the jobs very well ones TDM connected---> true polyphony, no delay, true separated output, no CPU dependaent, and relatively cheap... Another solution would be to by a second G3 or G4, put an inexpensive digital card and midi interface, and uses it as a dedicated sampler/synth...connetected to your main protools and synced via MIDI. The most rock solid/trouble free configuration, IMHO Whatever, the 9600 is a MUST (stable) base for PT, i couldn't say the same for recent G4s ...with MacOS 9.22....
