[MacDV] Re: FCP 1 or 2

[Tom Seid]

On a 2003 machine, aren't you able to launch Classic and install the
original FCP version, then launch the machine in OS X and install FCP 3...I
was told by an Apple store employee that this was what to do in the case of
upgrade disks. As long as the OS X finder sees the preferences in the
Classic system folder, you should be able to install the upgrade.
