I'm going to see if there are any other suggestions we can come up with - it won't be until tomorrow as our day is ending here and I'll need to get on that machine and go through it to see if there may be other contributing factors. |

Re: Intel iMac 3.06 GHz not \"Officially Qualified\"
Tomas, based on the Gear Slutz info, what are you thinking?
Also, did you hear back from Mr. DigiTechSupt today? Regards, Vogger |

From what I can gather (and keep in mind this is one man's opinion) based on my experience and other people having my same issues. 1. I believe the issue is with the generation of apple machines that got this Firewire chipset (as they described in the other post) Bad design!!!!! 2. now based on the fact that my macbook works flawlessly and its only 2 months old and uses the same chipset brand leads me to believe that this Chipset/Firmware was revised and the original issue fixed on the latest generation of Macs, I am hearing of people running them with no problems. 3. Only DIGI can come up with an official answer on this. 4. If you look at apple's posted firewire specs by model and revision you'll notice the low voltage assigned to each of the firewire ports on these, and also both firewire ports share the same bus. I could be full of it.... You might be lucky with the new iMac as I am lucky with the macbook, I am not holding my breath that anyone is going to find a fix to my current situation as I think is a done deal but well see. I just went to the apple store on wednesday and bought me a refurb MacPro 8-core. Why refurb? because it is the only DIGI supported MacPro as of yet (I really wanted the new one but oh well, don't want to do the same stupid thing) Hopefully these don't have the same issue as I believe they were the April 07 run of machines and by that time I don't believe they were using that new firewire chipset. Let me know if you have any questions. http://developer.apple.com/documenta...mentation.html |

Re: Intel iMac 3.06 GHz not \"Officially Qualified\"
Thanks very much, Tomas. Realizing the depth of these problems makes me just want to keep using my Digi001 and G4 Quicksilver! Hopefully Digi will have a more definitive answer soon. I just can't afford to spend $4000-5000 on a system that doesn't work.

Re: Intel iMac 3.06 GHz not \"Officially Qualified\"
Tomas, if everything has hit a cement-wall, have you tried running
PT with Windows/bootcamp on your Imac 3.06? |

Nah, I found a solution to my problems....... macpro 8 core. Not the newest one as it hasn't been certified so I ended up paying premium for a generation old machine just cause we are not getting the certs fast enough. Run beautiful under leopard and 7.4.2. Had a little problem finding the 003 at first to perform the firmware update and that made me suspicious of the 003 but once it finally did it was fine from there (Cross my fingers). I can't help but think that there is something fishy on the firewire/power of my 003 but only time will tell, I heard they fixed the harness issue that the 002 suffered from on the 003. |
