    Upgrading with duo dongle

    I've contacted my local reseller about upgrading my ExpressPro to MC soft …I guess I'll finally retire my old Meridian 9000 work horse.
    I mentioned to him that what I thought was uncharacteristically kind about this upgrade, was that I would still be able to run my XpressPro on my old 12' PowerBook. I mainly use it to  edit LONG audio VO's because I prefer the work flow on the simple, yet almost daily, tasks I need to do in that arena.
    My reseller told me that since I have the old rainbow duo dongle, that I would have to get a new dongle and that the new one would NOT let me work with Xpress Pro. 
    Any thoughts on this, or advice?
    Thanks!

    Main system: Media Composer 9000 ver. 12 (Mac) G-4 933, Meridan. Secondary system: AXP 4.8.2 (Mac), PB 12" G-4 133, 1.25 gig ram [view my complete system specs]

    I had a Rainbow duo and thought the same thing. Avid told me it would work, and it did. So, you should be good to go.

     

    Good Luck

    "I guess I'll finally retire my old Meridian 9000 work horse."

    On a side note - you can also get a hefty trade-in value of your Meridian hardware going to the DX series.. believe it is only for Nitris DX.

    Re: Upgrading with duo dongle

    I traded in an Adrenalne and a meridian. Got 16 K for the Adrenalne and 2.5 K for the Meridian. That was on two systems though, I gon't know if they'll take more than one trade in on a single system.
