My computer is a Powerbook. I have an HD system in a Magma chassis, and I also have an Mbox. In OS9, PTHD and PTLE co-exist peacefully. I made 2 system folders, one for running PTLE, and one for PTHD. After working out a few problems with this method, it actually works well. I'm wondering if anyone has figured this out for OSX. Can the two both exist and not conflict under the same system? (I realize the hardware needed for a particular PT version must be attached, exclusively). Different login accounts, with 2 setups for PT?

Captain, I am running the same Rig. Can you give me more details to your OS9 solution? I am trying to do the different log in thing too in OSX. I am just not sure where the installer is putting the library items and if they are shared or not. My PT6 Package hasn't arrived yet. Let me know what you find out and I'll do the same. Kato
Thanks Captain, Extremely helpful information. I will try too and let you know. I bought 6.0TDM for another rig I have and I'll let you know if I leap. I have to admit I am hesitant right now. Kato

I have a mbox and hd3 on a titanium as well. I actually have a few partitions on my titanium's hard drive. I have my strict PTHD setup on seperate partition and operating system for stability and then on the other operating system partition I have the MBox as well as all word processing, web, etc....no problems at all. Seperate partitions with seperate OS installs are your safest way IMO for coexisting OS9, OSX, LE or TDM. I haven't upgraded yet, I think I will order the LE version soon and take half my titanium up to OSX...but like you guys, can't do much until the cardbus solution is worked out, hopefully soon!!!
Doug partitioning definitely seems like the best way to do it--the only reason I didn't was C/R auths. Do they work on different partitions of the same drive? (Waves, Vocalign, DUY) BTW, The "accounts" ability of OSX is looking good, each account has a totally different set of prefs, apps, and so on. OSX is more impressive all the time. I think this is going to work for PTHD and PTLE on the same machine perfectly.
