882 I/O with software other than pro tools

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

i recently acquired a pro tools system (project card, 882 I/O, mac
9600). i copied the hard drive to my other system so i could clean it
up and update the OS. much to my dismay, the pro tools software looks
for the "signature on the hard drive"(so sayeth the folks at
digidesign.) of course, i didn't get the authenticator disks and can't
get the registration transferred so digidesign will give me the disk i
need. finally, my question: will any other software work with this
hardware? can i put the pci card in my G3 blue and white? or did i
just purchase a very large paper weight?

any help is appreciated.

Did I mention Studio Vision is *free*, as it is a discontinued product? I
figured you might find that a useful option.
