● Power Macintosh Blue & White G3
Each of the above Computers requires either the Digidesign 13-
Slot Pro Tools Expansion Chassis or a qualified Magma Expansion

● Power Macintosh 9600 (on compatibility hold)
Important Update Information: March 2001 - We are seeing
performance issues on some 9600 models with AVoption|XL and have
currently put them on compatibility hold with AVoption|XL pending further
ongoing investigation. These issues have been observed on some but not
all 9600/300 and 9600/350 cpus with both Pro Tools v5.0.1 and v5.1.
AVoption|XL has been tested with Apple Macintosh 9600 CPU's with
processor speeds as low as 300 MHz. The overall performance of your Pro
Tools system will be greatly improved with higher-speed CPU's. For
optimal responsiveness, we strongly recommend you use a CPU with at
least 300 MHz clock speed with AVoption|XL.
Note: The Power Macintosh Beige G3 is not officially qualified with
AVoption|XL.
