Just wonder what setup people are using on the NEW (mine's a dual 533) G4's running Protools?

I'm just setting mine up (after replacing a dead motherboard battery!) and getting the dreaded 6042 errors. I'm attributing this to my older Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card.

My setup is this:
G4 dual 533 w/640meg ram
Extra Maxtor 80gig ATA internal
Promax Dual AGP Video card
D24
Mix Farm
Vintage Farm
2940UW W/Cheetah 18gig/Cheetah 9 gig

I got DSI 5.1, but I'm still running PT's 5.01
My plan at this point is to upgrade the Adaptec to the ATTO Single channel
I'm also considering getting a 7200 rpm firewire drive since I've learned to HATE SCSI!!

Anyone have working (32+tracks) systems on the new G4's and if so w/what?

Thanks Tim

I am running a G4 single processor 533. Would love to know if there is likely to be any change in what is compatible with the 2001 G4s in the sense of testing new graphics or SCSI cards ......
