canopus advc 300 grass valley

Hi! Just before upgrading to Snow Leopard, I asked both Apple Assistance and Grass Valley Assistance in order to know if my *CANOPUS ADVC 300* comply with the new OS. Both of them answered that I had to ask the other one!
I searched the web for forums, but I found just that Canopus ADVC 100 isn't recognized by Snow Leopard (perhaps 'cause firewire connection).
Nothing about ADVC 300 (which is currently on sale on Apple Store!)...
Anyone have already tried this with Snow Leopard?
Or will I be compelled to make a partition with the old OS just to acquire video with canopus??
Thanxxxx

Macpro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Great. There's written that complies with 10.6. So we can dare to try?
Anyway this was the answer I got on October 15 from "Canopus TechSupport" <desktop.support.na@grassvalley.com>:

+Many ADVC users are complaining about their unit not being recognized on+
+their mac after upgrading to snow leopard. I recommend reading the mac+
+forums for more information on the lack of DV device connectivity (among+
+other issues) experienced by many users. Currently, we have not+
+certified snow leopard with any of our products.+
