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

HI there! I was browsing and saw your posts regarding the M-Audio Firewire 410 and you said that there was no driver for OSX Panther? I run a Pro Audio Company in Australia called Green Spider Audio and have just recently sold one of these to a client (recently as in today) and there was a driver for this on the M-Audio page for Panther. Not too sure if you have checked it out or not, but here is the link. panther driver .

I hope this actually works, let me know if it doesn't so I can advise my client, and any future ones.

Or are you saying that you downloaded that and it still didn't work? Sorry if I misunderstood.
