I'm aware of the track counts on B&W G3s and G4s with MOTU hardware, but I was wondering what kind of a realistic track count could I look at with a 9600? Say i was using a MOTU 2408 <for the sake of argument> in the 9600 with a G3 <or G4> upgrade card and an Ultra SCSI card? Anyone get satisfactory results with a setup like this?

can't really answer your question but... I will offer a bit of advice. Unless you already did the cpu upgrade... DO LOTS OF RESEARCH on the different brands before purchasing. I have read about problems with some upgrades not fully compatible with newer OS systems and a couple of other apps. I am considering upgrading my 350mhz G3 but a little scared to invest a few hundred or more dollars on something that isn't going to work well with all my apps. It reminds me of the PC issue with non-intel cpu's... some software just will not work on them but it is a small percentage but if you're main app is in that small perventage... then you want to stay with only intel cpu's. Same thing applies with Apple third party cpu upgrades.

i used a 9600 for years. the track count should be as good as most.
the track count is more related to how much ram you have assigned to the sequencer.  upgrade cards, in my opinion, are a bit of a false economy. the analogy would be. why put a porsche engine in a ford?  peace, later... -------------------- one for all and all for one...
