I was surprised to find out that my 3-year-old Apple Pro Speakers will not work with my G5. Apparently the G5 does not have a digital audio connector that is needed. They are still decent speakers for my purposes, though, and I wonder if there is an adapter or something that will make them usable again so I can avoid buying new speakers.

How about the iSub- will that puppy work with the same beast? Obviously, the iSub goes straight USB, but will crossover work?
Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.

Connect it to your stereo instead, you'll have much better sound compared to the Apple Pro Speakers, even with iSub.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
