My PM G3 B&W rev1 does not support it. For "old world" machines a B&W is "newworld", but for TDM B&W are useless.

i wouldnt use TDM to describe "Target disk mode" when its already used to describe "time division multiplex"
TDM is taken:) is it really that hard to type "target disk mode" that u hvae to use a shortform? lol

Code: [Select]

Cubase users can write TDM for  "Target disk mode" . Protools user has to write full  "Target disk mode" .   ;D

so...
TDM users can boot in TDM . LE users can boot in TDM too.   ;D ;D ;D ;D -afro- 8)
