PowerBook G3 500

Which Protools soft can run in a 500Mhz PowerBook, 128 ram, OS 9.0.2.?
I have a 9600, PT 5, 888, usd, etc,in the studio, and it would be very helpfull if I can make some work in the Powerbook.

Regards

I have Pro Tools 4.3.1 PowerMix running on the same PowerBook config you have. Just put it on a couple of days ago, though, so I haven't done much with it yet and can't give any kind of performance report.

There is no PowerMix version of Pro Tools 5.

I am waiting for my G3/500 powerbook to come in. My main goal was to set it up as a Video-editing station with FinalCut-Pro.Now I was wondering since Finalcut-Pro supports Machine-control over a USB(converted to serial) port if there is anyway I can make Finalcut-Pro to talk to my Protools Computer(9600/PT5) with the Machine-Contol option??????
In other words will Protools see the Powerbook/FCP as a VTR and be able to control it!!!!!

PS. It would be nice if there was a Powermix 5.0 for some offline editing!!!

Thank you Bruce.

Where I can get a Powermix? Is in any PT software CD?

Hi Bruce,

Any more sucess with PT 4.3.1 and OS 9 on your powerbook. We would like to get round the DAE error 42 problem and OS 9.x is the answer?

Thanks,

Hi Mike, nothing really to report yet.
I honestly haven't had any time to dig into it, working on a major overhaul of the website. I'd hate to tell you that it works well when I've really only opened it a few times. I'd like to use the PowerBook some more, but I also have a 9600/MIXplus system that gets used the most when needed.
I definitely will report, though, when I do get more time on the powerbook.
