MBox är ett USB-ljudkort från Digidesign. Det blir betydligt bättre ljudkvalitet med det än med macens inbyggda.
ProTools följer med MBoxen, kolla vilken version bara så att det går att köra i OS 9! Det borde gå att ladda ner en tidig version gratis från digidesigns hemsida tycker jag.
Det verkar finnas PT LE 5.2.1 som sista version för OS 9.
