  Mojo on G5 help!!!

  Posted by Ronen on December 21, 2005 at 10:39 pm

  Hello
  I had just got a Mojo for my Xpress pro system
  I am tring to install it on G5 10.4.3 with V4.8.2
  the problem ois that my Mojo was set on a G4 with OS 10.3.x with Xpress Pro 4.6

  now… I read all about the firewarm update procedure…
  the problem I don’t have accsess to that system any more or wnat to spend money on
  upgrading that operating system on the G4 just to be able to update the mojo.

  [ I was tring to do the update on another computer that has 10.3.9 – no luck there,,]
  I can install the Avid BUT CAN’T get the Mojo to work..

  any ideas what I can do…

  thanks
  Ronen

  The firmware issue is only an issue if you have a new Dual-Core G5. You didn’t say if you do or not. If you do, than I can say yes this is a pain in the @$$. I recently helped a client by bringing my Powerbook in just to update their mojo’s firmware for their new Quad. Moved the mojo back to their 4.6.5 G4 and had to downgrade the firmware to use it. Back to the Quad? Let’s have that Powerbook again. See where this is going? I’m not in LA, so I can’t swing by with my Powerbook, but what you’ll need is any G4 or G5 with Tiger to install your Xpress Pro 4.8.2 onto (using your dongle of course), update the mojo’s firmware and move it over to the Dual-Core which will now see it. Plus it works very well.
  Oh, and then leave that mojo where it is, because if you’re tired of reading this then just wait until you get to do it for yourself!
