HELLO GUYS
I AM ON OS 9.2.2 CAUSE CREAMWARE IS ANNOUNCED
ON X IN THE YEAR ...
IF SOMEBODY WORKS CORRECTLY ON A SIMILAR CONFIG I D LIKE TO KNOW CAUSE I HAVE MANY
PROBLEMS ...
THANKS

There are a fair number of mac users here so please explain your problem. Also OS X compatability has not yet had an official announcement date.
My setup is:
Mac G4(AGP) 500MHz SP, 768MB RAM
OS9.2.2
Pulsar2 & SCOPE SP with SFP3.1c
Cubase VST/32 5.1r1

works fine for me

ps. Why are you shouting? Is your caps lock stuck?

thanks for ur answer i didn t know about large characters - so sorry -
my exact config is g4 867 mghz dual cpu
with pulsar 2/luna2/a16 / sfp 3.1c /logicaudio 4.7 platinum
it was very good on my precedent mac g4 667 mghz mono cpu and since last week i got a new mac dual cpu and now i got problems ...
the sound comming from my logic i can see it in the mixer 24/48 in the vu-meter on each channel / but there is nothing on the mix master so i got no sound out ...
thanks a lot gringos ...
if someone got an idea they don t know at creamware france / there s no solo ...

Zelbo, what's the brand of the memchips ?
Are they marked with 'Apple certified' stickers ?
The new Dual G4s seem to be extremely sensitive to this.
I've had reproducable errors cured by exchanging extra ram, which was bought according to specs from a local PC shop.
You may check this by removing any 'foreign' memory from the machine and see if things change.

good luck, Tom

i bought memory certified by apple
in a apple shop they told me it was only these memory ...
i dont really knoww if the problem come from this but it can commin from lots of stuffs

Also which slots have you got your cards in? The biggest board (Pulsar2 in your case) should be in the first available slot, followed by the Luna. The reason for this is when a project is loaded the biggest device (ie. the mixer) gets loaded first as this takes the most DSP and it doesn't like being handled across the cards via the STDM cable. By the way, does your STDM cable between the cards fit in the G4 OK? Some users say that with two cards plus the STDM cable they can't close the door because of the power supply being in the way.

i put the pulsar first and the luna follow
and actually with the stdm i can t close my
mac / thanks apple / if somebody can clos his door tell me how i can do ...

do you have the door full open = on the floor ?
then there's a good chance the CPU overheats because it's out of the airflow of the cooler.
It's a totally sucking design, indeed.
Close it as much as possible and fix with gaffa tape I know this sound ridiculous, but you'll have to get it running (or rule out that it's impossible)until a proper cable is available.

good luck, Tom

thanks astroman !
do u think they will made a new STDM cable
that we will be able to close our G4 ???

I've never seen such a cable, but from the connector on my board they look like the antic floppy cables, so nothing really special.
Since you have an STDM cable, you might show it to some electronic wiz in your area to make one with a different connector.
It's easy with the proper tools - and that's what makes it so annoying.
I'd rather expect Apple to change the case design for the next machines.
The cooler design is crap anyway because it produces far too much noise due to all kind of things in the way of airflow. The control circuitry is able to drive it to sound levels that can even compete with any vacuum cleaner around

cheers, Tom

hi everybody,
i have the following problem : i have purchased a macintosh dual 1ghz(quicksilver not the noisy one) and when i enable advanced multiprocessing in cubase vst/32 r2 the system freezes, i have to switch off the mac from the tower .
This problem occurs only when i use pulsarII and it's asio drivers : creamware pulsar II ,s.f.p 3.1C.
As soon as i load a third party plugin and then enable "advanced multi processing" in vst while s.f.p. 3.1c is launched everything crashes.
if i don't enable multi processing or If i use cubase alone with the sound manager asio driver and without starting s.f.p. ,everything runs perfectly.
So i assume that the problem relies in pulsar or it's asio driver.
My specs are :
Mac dual 1ghz quicksilver
Mac os 9.2.2
nvidia geforce4 mx 64 mb
1.5 gig ram
creamware pulsar 2 sound card (soft :s.f.p. 3.1c).
i've tried all possible solutions(ram assignements, reinstall,digidesign pci extension and so on...) and i'm not the only one having this problem with a dual processor machine.
Thanks for help.

i ask myself about these mac dual cpu
if u find something about any reason
tell me what was the problem
i would very like to know ...

Hi guys, I don't have any DP Mac (g4/400 agp, actually) but once I found a text that may be of your interet:
