Panther And Audio Dillema, Software/hardware compatibiity Options

[zemote.com]

Which MOTU (preferably) audio interface is compatible with ProTools 6 and Digital Performer 4 in Panther 10.3.3?
I have an AudioMedia III card but Panther and ProTools don't recognize it, so I have to make a change.
Besides, I have another HD with MacOS 9 and a SampleCell II card.
Will I have to get rid of both (AudioMedia and SampleCell) or is there any possible way to work with both OSs? Or maybe I should go back to Jaguar and keep both? Will it work?
There is a money issue also. Not enough...Only have money to buy a not so expensive audio interface.
Please reply.
Thanks,
zemote

Garage Band on OS 10.3.3 never crashes for me or the many clients and colleagues I have running GB and 10.3.3

it could be many factors, simply balming Apple for a bug in GB is over simplifying things, and missing the point.

Hey if OS 9 works for you fine, but for the whole Apple world OS 9 is dead, you may have your reasons to stay there, but forgive me for saying, Apple and the rest of us OS X users who are having nothing but great OS X experiences and have no problems, don't care about OS 9.

if you continue to stay on OS 9, as I say to all my customers still on OS 9, unfortunatley you are still in some form of resistance and Apple and Mac OS X have left you behind, this is the nature of the tech business, unfortunately, you have to grow forward, not stay with past, no longer produced technology.

• simply re-installing OS 10.3.3 does not always work, you have to completely re-format, then install 10.3
• apply all the updates
• re-install Garage Band from different source
• zap PRAM
• repair permissions as you say
• Perhaps you either have a bad (failing hard drive) or bad RAM
• apply garage band update
• are you running 10.3.3, Apple does does not check bugs against any OS that is older than 10.3.3 (or 10.2, 10.1, etc).

the point is, your issue may or may not be an Apple bug, and from my experience it is not an Apple bug in Garage Band.

Or to simply state because you can not use (Garage Band) which a great tool, c'mon Garage Band is one audio / music tool and by far not the best or only music tool to use to create music, DP4, Logic, Reason, Mach 5, etc.

So just because you can not use GB on OS 10.3x (which I don't understand why) you say music / audio on OS 10.3x is bad, there are thousands of music /audio people who are not experiencing what you are and and have been using their Macs on OS 10 / 10.3x for a while now, using OS X music / audio apps in production environments and getting their work done and well, I might ad.

As I say I have never heard of of the GB OS 10.3 (issue you are describing) it could be a bug, I don't rule that out, but if you machine crashes against GB on 10.3.3, I am sorry this sounds like a carbon based (human) error and not Apple, used to do QA for Apple and Apple QA would be also seeing those crashes consistently and fix it rather quickly, sorry to be so blunt.
