if you ever wanna go after other dongles like prosoniq sonicWORX, cubase score/audio v1, emagic notator/logic, waves v2, let me know

what hardware do you need? ill send you

Thanks for the offer, but I don't really have a use for a ProTools system.
In this case it would have just been testing if the plugin loads...

Welcome!

An original Mac (Lisa) user ... let me guess, Sun Remarketing? A "Mac XL" ?

Sounds like you've got an interesting story to tell ;-)

no idea about that alleged market but i know ibooks g3 go around 20 eur here

That's actually very cheap! These are working units? Where in europe are you located? (since you stated prices in euro) Would you help our community members and ship them in case somebody is interesting?

@ssp3
I think when using 10.10+ one can just use Logic 8 and don't need any dongle emulator...
The EPIC plugins and SoundDiver are PPC only anyway

@joevt
Thanks for the table. I will save that for future reference

@redstudio
Since I have no ProTools hardware I couldn't test the plugins.
Thanks for the info!

Amazing stuff! Thank you so much!
Is Logic Node working this way too? Will try asap.

i got both and the pismo is the perfect man in the middle. thinking about getting its cpu swapped.

tibook is great if you want to hook up a magma pro tools chassis to it. i recommend the Apple PowerBook G4 867 (Ti) since it doesnt get as hot as the 1tb.

I'm glad I moved from emulators to real hardware and I think I've never liked using a computer like that for about two decades. With my Macbook Air (Sonoma) I'd say it's useful/convenient/fast etc... but that's just functional like a fridge or the washing machine. With the Pismo, it can be useful (things you can't do with modern systems) plus the pleasure and the nostalgia...

Looong intro but I'm considering buying another one (not going to collect old macs, just a second one). Browsed many sites and at the moment I have two options
1) an enhanced Pismo 500 (1Gb Ram, SSD), working battery
2) a Tibook: either a 800Mhz from 2002 or a 1Ghz, both have SSDs, 1Gb Ram, working batteries


I'm hesitating...

Pros for the Pismo: I'm now familiar with it (I have a 400), it's a robust machine (may last longer)
Pros for the Tibooks: novelty (I never had one), faster & better performances (G4, video card).

Still pondering.

Works great, 6.4.1 on Powerbook 867MHz 12 inches, Tiger 10.4.11

Thank you! Great job!
