Help! I have a Mac OS X 10.4.7-Just bought an Mbox w/PT LE 6
 

Help! I have a Intel based 1.66Ghz Mini Mac OS X 10.4.7 - I just bought a used Mbox w/PT LE 6.2

The software doesn't work on my computer.

I'm willing to download Pro Tools updates but I wanna make sure it's gonna work before I do.

The following quote is from the Digidesign download page:

"Pro Tools LE software will not work without a Digidesign Pro Tools LE hardware interface connected"

What exactly does this mean? (dumb it down for me please)

I need all the help I can get.
Thanks

7.1.1 is the oldest version that will work on an Intel Mac. If you want the newest, for $75 you can download the latest 7.3 version. Then, you should download 7.3.1 and then 7.3.1cs2.

It means that you cannot run Pro Tools LE without Digidesign hardware (Mbox, 002, etc.) attached to your computer.
