Aha - I was not aware of the 500mhz minimum requirement! That would certainly explain the issue, since I don't have the 500Mhz upgrade in my Pismo 400. Hard to imagine 100mhz would make that much of a difference, but doing a comparison on everymac, it seems that the cache bus speed is also higher on the 500: 200Mhz vs 160Mhz. So, those two factors may well be enough. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/just-overclocked-my-pismo.23546/ https://web.archive.org/web/20080224053124/http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/pbg3e3.html |

Thanks for the FireWire_OSX_1_6_Build_1174.zip attachment! One has to wonder where did he get it?  https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=6942.msg58696#msg58696 |

Guess I'll pause my pursuit of FW audio on the Pismo until I can find a speedier one! |

As both the M-Audio FW410… and the M-Audio Audiophile note the same basic system requirements of a 500 MHz CPU, could this possibly be the root cause of the problem you’re having? Initially I considered (as did you) the possibility of a bad cable — but then upon reading that you encountered no problems with the same configuration on the PowerBook G4, it seemed a sole problem with the Pismo 400.
[Knezzen mentioned previously that he’d had prior success with a Pismo 500.] Perhaps trimming all unnecessary extensions, control panels, etc. from your Pismo 400 might possibly alleviate or reduce the problems somewhat and allow you improved performance with both the FW 410 and the Audiophile? Anything to reduce the primary basic demands on your Pismo’s CPU — which might then enable more suitable results with the Pismo 400. What CPU present in your G4 Powerbook? 500 MHz or greater?

As the previous M-Audio FW thread (https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=6942) has now been locked, I'm continuing my saga here.
I've now been able to get both a FW Audiophile and a FW 410 downgraded to run the latest available OS9 drivers and have them recognized on my PowerBook Pismo 400. Here's the process which works for both devices (requires a G4 running OSX, max 10.4.11):
However... Here's the issue I have experienced running OS 9.2.1 on my PowerBook G3 Pismo 400: The audio output has regular periodic glitchy audio spikes every second. This happens regardless of whether I use Firewire bus power or mains power, regardless of which FireWire port I use on the back, and regardless of which FireWire 400 cable I use - I have tried multiple known-good cables. I have tried using the Macintosh audio system and ASIO drivers. No matter what, the same glitches occur - even on a fresh OS install. So, it appears that both of these devices are a no-go on the Pismo 400, at least using the built-in FireWire ports. I have yet to try a PCMCIA FireWire card to see if that works (trying to source a compatible one for cheap). If anyone has had any successful experience with this particular configuration, please do let me know! It would be great to be able to do some multi-channel recording on the little tuxedo. As it stands, I now have two very stylish paperweights... although they do at least work on the PowerBook G4… |

thanks so much, we CardBus people need to fix this
 nothing cooler than run a Mixrig off of a Pismo or an HD rig off of a TiBookgood i saved this because now i cant download it any longer https://web.archive.org/web/20030204075204/http://www.digidesign.com/download/mp/ |

MagmaSlots.sea.hqx MAC.sit/MAGMA.SIT weren't there. MAGMA.PXB.Extensions.hqx was but -unfortunately broken. |

For those that haven’t a clue as to who Bill Atkinson was — and even for those that do… if you’ve any interest at all about where, when and how these wonderful machines and their capabilities originated, you owe it to someone (yourself perhaps?) to do a simple search here for Bill Atkinson. https://folklore.org/0-index.html A very Apple essential site, providing great insights and detail into those “early days”. And thanks to new member @obstinacy - for comments and reopening this thread in such a manner! “HyperCard wasn’t just ahead of its time, it created a time that hadn’t existed yet. So many tools today owe their lineage to it. He really saw computing as something deeply human.” — @obstinacy |

This is a native PowerPC application and cannot be run on a 68K Macintosh. A Readme file is included. MAC.sit From CDROM "MAGMA CB03A" [3429KB] MAGMA.SIT. A stuffit file with all the drivers, extensions and utilties that are currently distributed on the MAGMA Cardbus Drivers and Utilities CDROM Disk. Updated June 28, 2002 [189KB] ApplePCI.img.hqx. An Apple Image file with the Fix for the G4 Titanium 550-667 and 667-800 series Power Books. This fixes the problem with the ATTO SCSI cards when used with Applications such as ProTools. Updated June 19, 2002 i am still looking for the other 2 utils anyone has them? |
