Ok i am sitting on a ridulously large protools HD rig , currently running on a custom g4 and version 6 .7 tools software
for the time being untill the water settles in my world
I want to take the accel cards out and put them in a g5 running 10.5.8 ( which i have )
which i think is about as far as the power pc processers run
Who can sell or give me the full set protools 8 HD install disks ?
and for that matter a mac G5 10.5 .8 install discs so i can do a clean install
I will probably flip this system over to a new computer and a hd native card or expansion box or what ever , but for now i need to get my new place finally open .. HD running version 8 on a g5 will have to do right now
- money is tighter then you can imagine
thoughts ?

I've got a HD expansion box sitting around if you ever need it. (I'd really love to get rid of it, it's a bulky bastard).

Re: Protools update HD 8..?
I bought an installer from sound devices for hd8, an it cost bugger all less then $10 to my door if I remember correctly, an bought a pro tools licence off ebay for not much.
my system is g5 with pci, runs pro tools 8,
now I just recently moved an put the installer in a safe place, I have no idea where this safe place is.... otherwise I would send it to you....

Are any of you guys still buying powerPC TDM plugins for your HD rigs?
If so, where are you getting them from? Is it simply a case of scouring ebay for the appropriate ilok licenses?
