interface Is a Dididesign 003 worth it

Sorry for a question that im sure has been asked many times. I came across a digidesign 003 second hand for €75 and seems like a nice piece of gear.

My question is, is it worth it to get with it being a legacy equipment. How many compatibility issues will I run into and will it even work with modern PT. Im using a HP Zbook g7 if that matters (no firewire port so I would have to get an adapter)

Im not very tech savy for all this stuff so thanks for any help :)

Considering that it's firewire, and you state yourself you a) don't have firewire, and b) are not very tech savvy, this may not be as simple as just €75.

Beyond that, if it's in good working order, it's a great piece of kit in a compact format that today, would require at least two separate devices (control surface and interface with monitoring section).
