Should I Wait For Tiger Support?, Possibility of a dual boot? Options

[DEVIOUS]

Hi!

I'm only running 10.2.8 and eager to upgrade, but I decided to wait for Tiger. Since there is no news (yet) of updates to my software and hardware (tracktion, tascam us-122, recycle) to support Tiger, I was wondering whether it's worth upgrading.

I know that when the orginal OS X came out, many people ran a dual boot of OS 9, enabling them to switch from one to the other easily. Is this possible with 2 versions of OS X?

If not. What are people's thoughts on the wait for updates? For panther, how long did it take manufacturers to produce support?

Thanks for your help,

D.

Hello, folks. First time posting as I just found this forum on a troubleshooting search.

I can't speak for 10.4, but I've just had my Sunday ruined by doing Apple's recommended upgrade to 10.3.9 and Quicktime 7 on my Sawtooth G4. Since doing this my Tascam US-122 won't output properly - playback is choppy and alternates rapidly between bursts of static-riddled signal and silence.

Followed Apple's "new" recommendation to reinstall Quicktime 6.5.2, but the US-122 is still out. Also tried repairing all permissions and reinstalling the latest Tascam driver, but no luck. Will probably have to try reinstalling 10.3.8 next, whenever I can spare the time.

Audio from the onboard minijack is fine, it's just the Tascam that won't work.
