Greetings! Glad I found this forum! Have a G4 Sawtooth that is supposedly dual 500ghz.
Any way, running a Creamware Pulsar 2 DSP card and Logic Platinum 6. I will be honest, I have struggled to get it going - getting it just right, then changing a setting and everything goes awry - was seriously planning on getting a pc with PCI slot for the card. Then, I found this site, and thought I would persevere. Glad I did! Now giving the machine some love - maxing out ram and getting an ssd for it:)
Had a dual boot OSX system, so now just going to double down and get it going just as an os9 machine - it is indeed snappy - looking forward to see what I can get out of it:)

superb, pulsar users are quite rare on the mac platform, and yes, the driver support for this stuff always was a mess.
-
Yes:) I seem to have it going easily with the MacOS9Lives image - its so easy to use!
In the mean time, I have picked up an MDD with missing powersupply, ram and hdd. Oh, and a digidesign 96. Just trying to get it going. Good times! I think I have perhaps gone down the rabbit hole?

once you get it working we would be interested to have all the softare installers and plug-ins, including demo versions, in te file section.
there is also a little synth waiting for you to test (in case you dont have it yet.)
-
yes, for sure! What's the best format for the files? Presumably you mean images of the disks that I have etc.? Each card has an 'XSkey" which I think is unique, so someone would need that plus a card (obviously) for it to work. Happy to upload tho.
Always keen to check things out:) Cheers for the tip:)

we use .toast and .sit but you can also upload files natively directly from OS9 to the hotline. i will check, repack and put it in the right drawer like once per week or so.
wasn´t there freeware synths in addition to the factory content, too? i only know it from the windows platform.
