Apple’s Latest Power Mac G4s (733 MHz, 867 MHz and 800 MHz dual-processor models) have officially been qualified by Digidesign for use with the products listed below. Additional Computer Requirements, (System RAM, etc.,) as listed on the Digidesign Compatibility Documents remain the same, (with the exception of Mac OS as detailed in the following section).

Known Issues:
1. The “Quicksilver” G4s require OS 9.2.x to run Pro Tools. Customers should not attempt to install OS 9.1, or run OSX, (including Classic mode), with Pro Tools on these machines.
2. Pro Tools currently does not utilize the second processor in dual processor Power Mac G4 models. If problems (such as -6042 errors) occur when using Pro Tools on one of these machines, Digidesign recommends the following: Move the folder named "Multiprocessing" from the System Folder "Extensions" folder to the "Extensions (Disabled)" folder and restart.
3. When running DigiTest v5.1.1 on the 867 MHz and 800 MHz dual-processor models, DigiTest reports a configuration problem if the ATTO Express PCI DC is installed. An erroneous error occurs when it scans the ATTO Express PCI DC (SCSI HBA card), however the card passes if you continue the test. This problem does not occur when running DigiTest on the 733 MHz model. An updated version of DigiTest that addresses this problem is in progress, although a release date is not available at this time.
4. On some G4s running OS 9.2.x, graphics in the Fades window may appear in the wrong color, or the fade lines may be invisible. Clicking outside the Fade window causes the window to redraw with the correct colors.
