Will a Delta66 work on a G5, Tiger?

Post by grfics »

I have found conflicting info on whether my Delta 66 card
will work in the g5 I'm looking at.

Is anyone running an Maudio 66 card in a g5 with Tiger?

Yeah, I'm actually using a Delta 66 card with my G5. Works great. (Though I'm hankerin' to upgrade to the traveler). Had the 66 with my old G4. Here's the deal, if you bought the card before "X" date (don't know what the actual date is, but basically if it's in a G4 then this applies), then you have to send it off to M-audio with $50 to get them to "upgrade" the card. (Actually they just send you a brand new one that's compatible in the G5)

Otherwise, the card works great. I like it a lot better than my newer M-Audio Firewire 410 card. The latency free monitoring in the Delta 66 (I'm running it with the Omni I/O breakout box) is great. Eventually when I get the cash though, I'm gonna dump both and go with a MOTU solution.
