Well, the main question would be how did you make it work? What version of software and drivers did you use? I'd like to hear all of the details. This is great news if it's true.

1. Can you tell us what you're running the 002r on (CPU, RAM, drives etc)?

2. Can you run 96k sessions and if so how many tracks/plugs?

Thanks,

JoeM

Hi Samuel.
When this device new, in Mac OS X needed update firmware,and we just change contents firmvare (DIGI 002 controller) in resedit from digi 002 and place this in Mac OS X. Update was successfull, but computer see this device as DIGI 002 (faders). We use Pro Tools 5.3.2 Digi 002 edition, pro tools say that no faders but it's working. Only one problem there - indicators on front panels (sample rate, midi and 1394) no lights.

Now we know exactly, that digideadsign not support Digi 002 rack on mac os 9.2 artificially.
We dont know why.

Mac Os 9 forever!

Thanks for the information aliakr. I may have a few more questions for you soon.

Ok, so no lights on the front panel, a warning telling about the faders and only 2 outs thru ADAT out? What about the ADAT ins? All 8 working?
Don't you have the settings on SPDIF isntead of ADAT?

[aliakr]

On sample rate 96k work only 2 Adat out.
On sample rate 44.1k&48k work all 8 in/out.
Device work ok, onli lights&nofaders problem [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">What do you mean you "dont know why"? OS 9 is officially dead in the eyes of both Apple and Digi, so they're trying to leave the past behind them and make forward progress. They can't keep officially supporting platforms that are no longer active (in that nothing is being developed for them).

It's cool that you found a work around, but there's nothing articifical about Digi's non-support of OS 9 - it's dead to them, so they can't devote resources to it.

On top of that, it is my opinion that you're limiting yourself and your system by insisting on running OS 9 with the 002rack. OS 10.2.6 and PT 6.1 seems pretty stable to me now...I don't see anyone posting "unexpectedly quit" problems NEARLY as much as with PT6.

To each his own.
