MIDI: Both USB and serial MIDI interfaces work effectively with Pro
Tools. Digidesign recommends using a serial MIDI interface, as they
offer the tightest possible MIDI timing. Serial MIDI interfaces require
either a Mac serial port or a qualified modem-to-serial port adapter.
Digidesign currently supports the GeeThree Stealth Port and Griffin
gPort installed in the modem port (thereby not using a PCI slot).
When using the GeeThree products with OS 9.0.4 the latest version
of the Stealth Port extension (v1.0.3) is required. It is available here:

with rev Q chips can be upgraded.
d24 Support: Some d24 cards may experience recognition problems
in the 400 MHz Blue & White G3 or G4s with AGP Graphics. If so,
