I run Performer 5.5 on 280c for years (the day I receive the update from
MOTU). It's been great and have no problem whatsoever. I tried installing
Digital Performer 2.3 and it worked well too despite lack of audio support.
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with ClubMID, MIDIJukebox etc. Performer won't
work with RAM Doubler or Virtual memory. 12 MB is enough (lean 7.6.1 will
take about 3 Meg, and Performer will run with 7 Meg partition or lower)
