PT11? But it's a Mac-only format AFAIK. Those have been converted to AIFF/WAV for ages...

8 or 9. You can still read SDII. Only recording as SDII was dropped.

Thanks .
let me clarify the question,
I am checking through some old drive dupes. .
I don't want to create a shed load more files, so I thought I'd use an older version of Pro Tools to open & check the sessions.
I'm using PT9 & it doesn't just read SDII, it creates WAV versions. . .
Which version of 'Tools will open the sessions without creating WAV versions of the audio files ?

Of course, just "get info" on the old session files & they are PT 5.1.
So I'll try opening with PT 5 or 6

I'd say 8.0 as in the last PPC version. Lots of stuff was dropped when PT went Intel-only.

Not sure if this is helpful to you, but Pro Tools 7.4 introduced Elastic Audio...
Pro Tools Session Compatibility and Interchange
The quote below is from the following documents on that page:
What's New in Pro Tools HD 7.4 (PDF)
What's New in Pro Tools LE & M-Powered 7.4 (PDF)

Quote:
Elastic Audio Analysis in Browsers

You can both calculate and clear Elastic Audio
analysis for selected audio files in DigiBase
browsers. Only AIFF and WAV files are supported
for Elastic Audio analysis and processing.
Any other file format (such as MP3 and SD2)
must be converted to AIFF or WAV for Elastic
Audio analysis and processing.

Even though MP3 and SD2 file formats are
not directly supported by Elastic Audio, you
can import them into a WAV- or AIFFbased
session and then use the converted
files on Elastic Audio–enabled tracks. File
formats that do not match the session are
converted automatically on import.

That's fantastic info …
Thank you.
So 7.3 or 7.0 will just open it.
Cheers.
