No problem so far for Mac OS X.
I didn't check OS9.

If you want to use ProTools LE (the software):
it just works on Digidesign-hardware.

You could try to get an Audiomedia III-PCI-card for about $200 at 
ebay (incl. ProTools LE), if you still have free PCI-slots in your 
desktop.

If you're on OS9:
there's a FREE stripped down version of ProTools v. 5.x which uses 
the built in audio-hardware; it's an early 5.x-version, which exactly 
I don't recall.

There's no ProTools FREE X for now, but will come someday.

...the manual said: Win 95/NT or better, so I used Mac OS X and MagicMac.
