Power Macintosh Blue & White G3 - Digi 001 Requirements

Blue & White G3 Processors of all speeds supported

Mac OS 9.0.4 required (OS 9.1 not tested with these models)

QuickTime 4.1.2 required with Pro Tools v5.1.1 (included with Mac OS 9.0.4, Pro Tools

installation CD, or download the standalone

QuickTime 4.1.2 Installer from Apple)

G3 Firmware Update 1.1 required

Available from Apple at: http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11361

MIDI: Both USB and serial MIDI interfaces work effectively with Pro Tools. Digidesign

recommends using a serial MIDI interface, as they offer the tightest possible MIDI timing. Serial

MIDI interfaces require either a Mac serial port or a qualified modem-to-serial port adapter.

Digidesign currently supports the

GeeThree Stealth Port or Griffin gPort installed in the modem

port (thereby not using a PCI slot).

When using the GeeThree products with OS 9.0.4, version 1.0.3 or higher of the Stealth Port

extension is required, available here: http://www.geethree.com/download.html

External Floppy Diskette Drive

Although not required with Pro Tools installation, an external floppy diskette drive may be

required for some Plug-Ins installations. The following external USB diskette drives are currently

supported:

● Imation SuperDisk

● NewerTechnology uDrive

● SmartDisk (VST) Floppy Drive (model FDUSB-M) Note: Information on VST brand

products from SmartDisk can be found at: www.smartdisk.com

Links to software and drivers are available in the Digidesign Support/Downloads/Utilities Section:

● SmartDisk (VST) Floppy Drive (model FDUSB-M)

● Imation SuperDisk

● NewerTechnology uDrive

● PACE USB Floppy Enabler

Apple's revised USB support allows for booting from a USB drive, therefore you should not boot

up your system with an authorization disk inserted in the USB Drive.

SCSI HBA card NOT required: Although Pro Tools LE supports a full 24 tracks of record and

playback on a dedicated ATA/IDE hard drive, use of a SCSI HBA card with a SCSI drive can

increase some performance aspects of your Digi 001 system: for more information refer to the

Audio Storage Requirements page. Optional SCSI HBA cards bundled (by Apple) with Power

Macintosh computers are not compatible with this configuration due to the lack NV RAM to store

Pro Tools desired SCSI transfer rate.
