XT is the "Audio" 16Bit version of the pre-VST versions ("standard" midi->pro score->pro audio XT), DAE/TDM is a special version of the same Product for Digidesign TDM Hardware.

[smilesdavis]

anyone got any fotos of the 1994 "Cubase Audio for DAE" or an idea at what version it was released under this name.
i am uncertain what version the above 1995 "Cubase Audio XT for DAE/TDM" was released at.

Cubase Audio v1.00-?.?? -> Cubase Audio for DAE v?.?? -> Cubase Audio XT for DAE/TDM v3.00-3.05

its as if it was extinguished from history.

I just found and acquired Cubase Audio XT for DAE/TDM and VST sealed. It is from 1997
And is v3.5. Once i got the box here fotos are upcoming. But hey why cant i upload .jpeg anymore its
What my iphone defaults to?

Anyways i think this is like the windows v3.5 audio that also includes v3.05 (in windows land) that still supports legacy hardware

If its like i think this runs on my 6 nubus expansion racks
Plus on my g3/500/8100

Lets see if i can teach my nubus rig os9

(from https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/steinberg-cubase-vst-v35:
- Cubase Score v3.05 includes all of the functionality of the standard Cubase VST package, plus professional scoring and printing (...)
- Cubase Audio XT v3.05 has all the features of Cubase Score v3.05, but adds extended support for (...) legacy digital audio I/O recording hardware systems. (...)
- The current Cubase Audio VST v3.5 package consists of Cubase Audio XT v3.05 (with continued hardware support) and Cubase Audio VST v3.5 (which is functionally identical to Cubase Score VST and does not support the hardware). Got it?)

("Read Me First" on the 3.52 CD-ROM: Which Cubase should I install?

There are three Cubase folders on the CD-ROM. Which one you should use depends on which version of Cubase you have purchased. If you have the basic Cubase program, you should use the folder marked Cubase. If you have the Score version, please use Cubase Score. If you have the Audio XT version, please use the Cubase Audio folder. Remember that the key disk in the package you have purchased will only work if you install the corresponding version of Cubase !

68K or VST?

VST is short for Virtual Studio Technology, Steinberg's realtime digital audio recording system for Power Macintosh. Cubase, Cubase Score, and Cubase Audio all contain VST and are capable of full audio recording as well as MIDI sequencing.

Inside each Cubase folder are two installers, one for the VST version of the program and one for the 68K version. Which one you install depends on the type of computer you have. If you have an older 68K Macintosh, such as the Mac II series or Quadra series, you cannot use the VST version, so please install the alternative 68K version. However if you have a Power Macintosh, you should normally install the VST version for best results.

If you have purchased Cubase Audio, and have a Power Macintosh, you can install either the XT or VST version (or even both!), depending on your needs. If you are using a Digidesign digital audio system such as Pro Tools, Pro Tools Project, Session8, etc., you will normally want to use the XT version.

Installation Notes
To install this Cubase Program for Macintosh you should simply double-click the 'Installer' icon.
This will automatically copy all the required files to your hard disk. The Installer will create a folder for the program on the outer-most level on the hard disk. You can move it later if you wish.

Authorization

This Installer places all the files on your hard disk . During the installation the installation program will ask for the Cubase Master Disk to be placed in the floppy drive.  This will start the process of authorization .

The Cubase Master Disk must now be kept in a safe place, because you will need it if you want to remove the Cubase Program from your hard drive or update to a newer version.)

P.S.:Mark Badger died of a sudden heart attack on July 29, 1998. He was the head designer of Cubase Audio DAE/TDM. Version 4.1 TDM was never released. In 2000 the Cubase Audio DAE/TDM project was finally put to rest and native was established.

P.P.S.: If anyone can find any fotos of especially versions 1-2 of the box the manual whatever - please share!
