A few years ago I had a Tascam FW-1884 that I enjoyed using. At the time it only had a 32-bit driver for Mac OSX, and although the version of OSX I was using was 64-bit, there was a way to boot it up in 32-bit. Then Apple released the upgrade and, like an idiot, I upgraded instantly without checking into conflicts. They removed the ability to boot in 32-bit mode, and my FW-1884 no longer worked.

I called Tascam and they assured me they had not only discontinued the FW model, but that there would be no upgrade to the drivers to support 64-bit, and that essentially I was out of luck.

Recently I heard rumors that there was in fact some kind of driver upgrade, patch, or something, but I've looked around Tascam's site and haven't seen anything...just old 32-bit drivers. Anyone know anything about this? Unfortunately I sold the thing off for next to nothing, but I might be interested in buying one again if there's a way to make it work...
