9500/200 - g3 card ?

[bluesna]

Will the 001 work on a 9500/200 as it is ?
What about a 9500 w/ a G3 upgrade card ?
Anyone suggest any manufacturer in particular ?

I upgraded my 9500/132 with a XLR8 Mach G3 300MHz for $289.00. It works pretty well, no complaints yet. I would suggest either one of the Mach G3 or G4 or a NewerTech upgrade card. They are the most reliable. I would also suggest not having any fewer than 192 megs of ram. That will give you plenty of processing power and speed.

Hi, I'm rather encouraged by your posts, because I had thought that I'd have to scrap my current system in order to even consider the Digi001 based on what I've read.
I have a PMac 7500 with an Interex (XLR8) 366 G3 card. I have 112mb of ram right now. If
I could just add another 128mb of ram, and
use some sort of dedicated scsi drive for
the audio recordings (suggestions?), it
would save me a ton of money.

I'm curious if you've used any of the RTAS
plug-ins to any extent, and have experienced
lock ups or problems? That seems to be the
one major reason to go with the G4 chip..
I have a carrier card on my box, I wonder
if the Interex G4 upgrades would work well?

Our band has used OMS and Vision for our midi
sequencing, and well .. *L* We're stranded
now.. So the $1000 for the Pro Tools LE and
the audio interface seems like a real bargain
from our viewpoint. We only have three people
in our band, so the limitations track-wise of
the Digi001 does not concern us too much. But, it would be a very Merry Xmas if we
didn't have to get a new comp right now at
the same time

Let me know how your recordings go, we're
very hopeful to have a digi001 in our near
future..

I also use a PM7500 and have been contemplating a G3 accelerator card, so if anyone is using a 7500/G3 combo successfully with Pro Tools 5.0LE, I'd love to hear about it too...
