I definitely build new HD setup...
« on: January 25, 2025, 05:50:46 AM »

Hi all  8)

I finally finished to build a nice HD system under OS9, everything works as I expect, the only thing to fix is the Digitest. With PT 531, the DT failed BUT everything works (it sound, DSP works ok etc). The Q is: maybe thers a different Digitest to run with it?

Here: Digidesign HD Core running with PowerMac G4 1.25Ghz MDD with SSD etc etc...please let me know!! Thx in advance  ;D

Digitest can be a bit flakey from time to time. It only checks for supported configurations other than checking the actual hardware. So if you have a unsupported combination of Magma chassis and whatnot it will fail even if it works in Pro Tools.

If it works then there's no problem. I have a Pro Tools 24|MIX system with a unsupported PCI bride card in combination with the chassis it has. It fails digitest but has been rock solid in Pro Tools for the past 10 years or so.
