Linux plus SFP would be amazing! Check out http://www.gentoo.org for a self compiled solid and blazing linux OS.

http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ has great info on Linux DAW's.

Ardour (http://ardour.org/) is a free recording program that is getting very stable and usable!

Cheers,

and enjoy the free software.

thanks guys for the input... it all seems a bit too expensive to just give it a try. and as a host for CW synths, this old bugger seems to do the job just fine. now, NOISE... that's what i really like to get solved in this machine.

(fan ?) NOISE in a PM G3 ???
or worn out HDs ?
a graphcard cooler ?
please explain

btw in the guinea pig PM7600 (from previous page) it doesn't make a difference if a PCI HD controller is present
SFP 3.01 runs (better creeps) even without the G3 accelerator at the original 132 MHZ rate

Strangely the graphic isn't that much affected, it's more the loading processes

So if all that's needed is a synth rack even a $30 machine will do - and the complete installation can be just copied over from another Mac if the name of the disk is retained (!) and the driver is moved to the extensions folder by hand

cheers, Tom
