Most excellent, and very interesting! You must have quite an HD on your unit. :-) Digidesign gets very skittish about anything under a 604e @300mhz for PT free, not to mentional the RAM requirements. Are you using PT Free 5.01 or 3.4 (it's first incarnation)?
I'm using ProTools 4.3.2
To George's specific concern, PT is really not very keen on compression of any kind, and his audio files would have been fairly humongous.
I'm using an 60gb HD. 4.3.2 did great on my old Mac 6500 (225mh, 64 mb ram, 3gig HD) under 8.6.
ProTools is a true recorder and only compresses after recording, i.e., during sound enhancement, bouncing or exporting. The newer versions that are used with PCI cards or mBox can compress on the fly while recording as an insert.
