Strange. I had that interface and a 500mhz Pismo back in the days and did a lot of songs on Mac OS 9 with it. It surely must be some kind of driver incompatibility going on or such? Are you using ASIO drivers with your DAW?

A not-so-much-PowerBook, apparently! I guess the firewire ports on the Pismo were designed for external storage more than anything. It was worth a shot though. Very curious to know if it works on your TiBook.

Hm... I think it's on Hotline? Maybe? Have to check.

As I'm getting my iBook up and running, I've tried to have some version of antivirus installed as I download and reinstall software from various sources. I was curious, what software do y'all use for protection?

I started with a copy of Norton 6 that I had, but it would crash out with Error 1 whenever I'd try to do a system scan. I then installed Norton Utilities 9, and realized it didn't come with an antivirus update. So then I installed Norton 7 and tried to scan again, but again it would crash with an Error 1. So then I found a virus definition update from 2008, applied that directly to my System Folder, and was able to successfully complete a full scan with no problems detected.

So either the virus definition update was fraudulent and is now masking the virus that caused the crashes of previous Norton versions, or it fixed whatever problem the previous versions had with my install of 9.2.2. Either way, as far as I know I'm virus free!

So how about all of you? How do you stay safe?

And just as a heads up of a known virus, the December 1998 Mac Addict CD has the D variant of the AutoStart 9805 worm. This was reported in the January 1999 issue on page 14. So if you're like me and going through the Internet Archive's treasure trove of sampler CDs, be careful and keep your shields up!

the best antivirus is common sense, also just run your mac offline...
unless you want to be connecting to sites and bbs or whatever in which case just have two macs 

Does anyone have a copy of octamed for mac?
(assuming that someone has compiled it for mac since there is a windows version)
if not what is the best emulator to run octamed in for macos9?

Hello

I use Virex 6.1, some defs are from 2007...I doubt new OS9 viruses were created since that year

the only mac game i ever played was The Journeyman Project  and that was a port from PC

If you had to pick only one game, I'd say you picked a good one. I remembering borrowing The Journeyman Project (not sure if it was in that brief amount of time that video rental stores tried to rent software or what) and was blown away by how they were able to blend the videos of the actors with the 3D graphics. It was like Myst but even weirder, I remember having to explore a castle and avoid a knight... definitely worth a revisit.

There is one that says Cubase Mac Score which i have and one says
Cubase Audio

Dibs and you can wish for anything you want in return

mine will accept a 5V power supply.. But it works fine as bus powered, there is no observable difference.

Mine is the older USB2 version. The USB3 version may be bus power only.
