Hi, I have a problem with my fw-1884:
first of all, my computer is a power mac g4 800mhz and I own also an i-book G4 1,25 Ghz.. when I connect the fw 1884 with my power mac, the firewire led on the top of the audio interface turns on and after a few seconds suddently turns off.. what's the problem?
With the firewire led turned off the machine doesn't work at all..
So.. I thought it was a firewire problem.. but when I tried connecting the fw1884 on my i-book no problem was found..
Here's more: both computers have the same drivers (1.50) and operating sistem(osx 10.4.4 upgraded from 10.3.9 wich had the same problems)..
Is it the cable? new cable old problems..
Is it the firewire port? I've added a pci expansion to PMac today and no progress..
Please can anybody help me?! I'm going crazy..
PS:I've already written to the support but nobody answers at all..

May 01, 2004 The FW-1884 comes with a teaser 24-voice version of Tascam GigaSampler software, which turns a PC with a GSIF-compatible soundcard into a disk-streaming sampler. If you use GigaSampler or other software instruments in a multi-computer setup, the FW-1884’s ADAT Lightpipe port is a logical place to plug in a soundcard’s outputs.
Driver v1.30 or higher to be installed first! Firmware updater for Mac users is included with the appropriate driver installer.

I have an older piece of equipment.Tascam FW-1884.control interface that requires the (legacy) driver that was available in Windows 7. Stupid Tascam stopped supporting their piece of equipment under Windows 8. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I have the 64-bit ver. FW 1884 and Cubase LE Page 1 of 5 FW1884 and Cubase LE / Cubase SE This document describes how to setup Cubase LE for the FW 1884 and how to use the FW 1884 features to control it. It assume s that you have already installed FW 1884 drivers version 1.40 or later.
