Absolutely. It works wonderfully on my system.

B4 II v2.0.4.001 with DP 7.0.1 and OS X 10.6.2 and all is well.

I trust you got a new computer since you updated your signature... SL won't work on a G5.

I've had a couple of weird experiences in DP7.02/10.6.2 with B4II.
In one case, the organ chord would start playing at the start of the sequence, even though the MIDI for it was 24 bars later.
It would sustain until the actual MIDI data was reached.
I automated a mute for it, but it was disturbing to see the bug.
Same sequence in 5.13, no problem.

I'm disappointed that NI is cutting off support to B4II.
I think they are the opposite of Spectrasonics.
I wrote to NI about it and they told me to buy '57 drawbar.
All is well

Don't waste your money on Drawbar '57.

I won't repeat myself, so just search the forum for my prior comments.

When I can come up for air again (in terms of dealing with petty issues vs. big issues), I'm going to contact NI to see if they allow resale (since I think they allow resale of their main products, but I've never wanted to sell any of them so didn't really look into it).

Yes, it's cheap, but I still feel ripped off.

Well, it's not exactly new. A recently brought back from the dead old Mac Book Pro. Guess I need to update my profile...
