Thanks You might want to make sure Tascam has intel drivers for it yet... they seem to be a little slow about their drivers being updated.

I own a Tascam 1804 and I'm using it on Logic 7.23 .on a MacBook pro CoreDuo 2g Ram/OS 10.4.8 running fine. I'm loving it. I average 16 to 24 chanels of audio instruments both Logic's own and third party and 16 channels of audio with plugins and no issues or problems with latency. If I had the bucks would have bought the 1884 Buy the thing fast Just dowload the drivers on Tasam site. http://www.tascam.com/Products/FW1884_downloads.html

Thanks > > Scott ­ I don¹t have an Intel Mac, but we do have a Tascam FW-1884. I often recommend it to people who are looking for the features it offers the control surface works well with Logic, the preamps, converters, and MIDI interface make a convenient bundle. It¹s just a bit bulky if that is an issue. Blair -- blairfisher@shaw.ca

Scott, I have an FW1884 and MacPro. They both work fine. Drivers for the FW1884 were available long ago, and also work well. Absolutely no problems here. It's a good board with the MacPro. Regards, Rube

Apparently they have had them for a while. Of course, your suggestion makes sense - the poster should confirm this for themselves. Blair

As already commented, it's pretty big, and I sold it due to this. Happy to hear the drivers are working fine.. I seemed to have a number of issues related to firewire and the G5 (cold only use 1 FW device at once), which are solved with the latest generation Macs, apparently.
