A cute G3. :D Used it thoroughly over the last years under OS 9, and it
still works (and sounds) smooth as silk!
Certainly less grainy (in sound quality texture, I mean) than the MOTU
interface, and even the Mbox, which I returned to the friend who was
selling it to me :P
The sad part will be when I win the Lottery and buy the G5 Quad I drool
for.... :P With everything and its 16Gb of RAM!! Yummm! :P
Still, The Digi is currrently (and very unfortunately) doing it' s
payjob on a PC, until "FrankenMac" is finished. Then, it will be
transferred to "FrankenMac", which will end up being a Dual G4/1.8 with
2Gb Ram mounted on a Gigabit Ethernet MoBo (Proufo.. any news yet on
the case:: :D :D :D). Slow process to build it, but yummy enough to be
worth the wait. :D
After much thinking, the Quicksilver 2002/800 (Which I bought damaged
and am not able yet to find the failure source, mostly due to the
severe lack of other Quicksilver owners in the area to swap parts with
to test) will not be used for studio duties, thus sacrifying the 133
bus for the 100 one, but then being able to use 2Gb RAM instead of only
1.5 . It may even sound ridiculous, but when you are working on A/V, it
is definitely NOT... It would probably be used for personal duties
such as web browsing, mail handling scanning printing and he likes,
while the Smurfie (which would be upgraded to a G3 1.1Ghz instead of
the original idea of a G4/1Ghz, in part because of the bus being slowed
down to 66Mhz when doing so, and on the other hand, because of the HUGE
price difference (considering I will NOT be using Altivec on that one,
it would not be that much worth) would become a nice FileServer, with 2
120Gb HHDs and 2 80Gb HDDs, all of them currently living inside a PC
(which I plan to discard as soon as the whole project is finished).
Now I only have to sort, to do so.. the "small" detail of the Rev. 1
MoBo on Smurfie. Probably a Sonnet Tempo ATA-133...
Best wishes to you too!

Uh! I'm dashed!
Out of curiosity, are you using a G5 or G4?
Best wishes on your business, Juan.
