Italian sound engineer a.k.a. Tobor Experiment develops freeware Mac plug-ins (Pluggo based) for VST/MAS/RTAS applications running on OS 9. A bundle of 3 plugs is now available for download, more plugs will follow.

Tobor is also looking for CG/photo artists to design backgrounds for future plugs.

If you are the owner of a power Mac from august 2002, don't hesitate to order the exchange kit from Apple including a new power supply and a 12 cm fan. You should install it yourself which takes roughly 45 mn (as I experience it). It's not really complicated, just take your time.
