Mbox 2 Pro with Pro Tools 11 and Mac Mini 2009

Hello there, how are you? My name is Marcos and I'm a music producer. I am thinking about to acquire a Mbox 2 Pro, because I live in Brazil and here the products are overpriced, so Mbox 2 Pro, even it's old it's a good interface and will be great for my work. I checked out if there's newest drivers for it, and found the version 10.3.3 of Mbox 2 Pro drivers. The description shows that "Core 2 Duo macs" are not supported. I use a Mac Mini 2009 (Final) with 8GB DDR3 RAM; it runs fine Pro Tools 11.3.1; My question is: Is Mbox 2 Pro compatible with Core 2 Duo Macs or not? I study Pro Tools and my professor owns a Mbox 2 with a MacBook Pro 2008 and the two devices work well. I want to know if I can buy and use Mbox 2 Pro in Mac Mini 2009 (Core 2 Duo Mac) with Pro Tools 11.3.1 or later. In case, this interface was found costing R$700,00 (for me it's a good price in "reais", that's my country money (used). Avid Mbox 3 Pro costs R$1400,00 (used) and for me it's so expensive. I really need a firewire interface for my works. What do you think? Thank you for your attention! Greetings from Brazil!
