SDI Mojo

I am interested in upgrading my current G4 to a new Mac Pro, but also have to take into consideration video playback. I am planning to get a Mojo SDI, but I know that it is not yet supported on the Intel Macs. Has anyone tried using the Mojo or Mojo SDI on the Intel Macs? Is it a case of it not working at all because the needed drivers are not available, or is it a matter of it working, but some what unreliably since it hasn't been fully tested and qualified yet?' Thanks, Buck

something at NAB?

yeah, I just installed MOJO and AVID xpress on my G5 intel protools rig (7.1.1 + 10.4..) and it completely screwed my system and protools... I had to manually dig thru the system and rip out everything that even smelled like Avid before I could get a re-install of protools to even work. It took 3 full clean uninstalled and re-installs until i got protools and the G5 to run without crashing. Excusing the pun my MOJO was toast by the end of the day... It's now sitting on a book shelf being a bookend where it belongs... Cheers geo PS: I had it running on a G5 non-intel system for about 3 months... then after various other upgrades of protools it simply stopped working and now it won't run on that system as well...( xpress and Mojo... ) Anyone want to buy a MOJO and avid xpress bundle cheap?

First, you might want to be careful about describing an Intel Mac as a 'G5', as G5's are PPC and not Intel. And to clarify a few things: Mojo currently does not work on Intel Macs. You can only use Avid Xpress and Pro Tools on the same system starting with Pro Tools 7.3 and Xpress 5.6.x - any other combination will not work (including 7.1 or 7.2 versions of Pro Tools). Again, that's only for PPC Macs.
