FWIW i run PTLE (with a 002) at home on a cmpletely unsupported Mac.. and it runs perfectly.
Although I expect one day I will upgrade my software and just hit the performance limit wall... but until that day it WORKS.
So I take their compatibility lists with a grain of NaCl.
But I
a) agree that PT is THE standard these days and it's smarter to embrace it than not.
that 80% that Terry talks about isn't "wrong", no matter how smart you, and your computer geeks freinds think you are.
b) think it's dumb to let the COMPUTER decide ANY audio choices
and c) agree that the Digi User Conference is the place for some useful help
if ANYONE knows what can make yours work, someone THERE will
ask NICELY and ignore the crap that comes with the GOOD answer
good luck
