Hi
Is Anyone running FCP 5/Kona on tiger and Avid Express Pro 4.8.2
on the same G5 ?.
Do you need to partition the Boot Drive or it is ok to have them
on the same drive?
Feedback and System configurations appreciated

Hi Olivier:
Yes, I'm running the Kona 2 and AXP 4.8.2 on the same Mac (10.4.4). I bought a second system drive (to put in the B slot) and cloned my Kona system drive -- then removed all Kona software and installed AXP on the new drive. Works like a charm. My media drive is a Firmtek SATA RAID and I seem to be able to use both FCP media and OMFI media (in separate folders, of course) on the same drive with no issues.
Bought my AXP on eBay (and an AVID keyset/keyboard), so for less than two thousand $Cdn., I can cut on either platform. Only downside I guess, is that now I have two software systems to upgrade each year!
