i have a b&w 400, 192mb ram, 2 ata hd (one 6 one 40) a digital video cam, firewire, final cut.

On os9 i was able to import no problem. Every single time i try importing on osx it gives me dropped frames and the import stops and disappears..
what can i do to optimize my settings so i can edit on my computer.

Thank you.
DOS Computers manufactured by companies such as IBM, Compaq, Tandy, and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million machines in use worldwide. Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers alone do not denote a higher life form. -- New York Times, November 26, 1991
