15"powerbook G4 1.25ghz + Firewire 410 Options

[Englishboyonice]

I am just buying a Powerbook 15" G4 1.25 with 10.3(Panther)and also M Audios Firewire 410.
Can anyone assure me that this is a good system for recording music and approx the limitations of audio and midi? (how many tracks etc.)
I have always stuck by my trusty Atari 1040 but realised it was time to switch. Ive owned macs for years but never for music as I had so many problems with cubase on the mac.
Whats the timing like? Any glitching? Does the Firewire 410 work with OSX 10.3.
Can you write an entire track in audio, I am assuming that the mac records the audio track so I wont need to take the device when arranging, is this right??
Any other advice, greatly appreciated
Later

I still have my 410 in the box. I know they are worried about this because the retailers are responding to complaints by buyers! I am using OS 9.2.2 and there's no provision, it turns out, for a FireWire Audio device! I've been writing to brad@m-audio.com and he has been pretty responsive.

I'm a little worried that OS9 is not important to anyone! Too old but if Englishboyonice is still using a 68040 computer then I wonder if there are'nt a lot of folk who are using older systems that might want to take advantage of the 410.

Incidentally it has four inputs and ten outs(4-10=410)

Bill, lookin forward to recording with my 410) Heppe
