MIDI Time Piece II and latest G5 Mac Pro system, possible?

Post by RockNRoll »

Hi all,

Just upgraded to a G5 Mac Pro Dual 2.8. We have been utilizing our old MIDI Time Piece I & II interfaces via a Gee Three Stealth Port into our previous G4 Dual Desktop. However, the new G5 systems do not incorporate a modem connection slot through which the Stealth Port connects. So we are not able to connect the old MIDI Time Piece interfaces to the new G5 system at the moment.

Are there any other possible solutions or is it pretty much time to retire these units and pick up the USB versions of MIDI time piece?

Thanks for the advice!

i'd pick up a single mtp/av usb model, and network one of your existing mtp units to it. no need to buy two new interfaces!

my mac pro has a usb mtp/av with an original serial mtp networked to it. works great - the 2 units appear as a single 16 in/out interface on my mac pro.
