Nice to have this forum back. For you early adopters who already have the release version of Windows 8, has anyone tried the FW-1884? From all I have read, Windows 8 runs even more efficiently than Windows 7, and the drivers from 7 are 'supposed' to work. Given the challenge we faced getting Tascam to release the 64-bit driver for Windows 7, I'm hoping that drivers works in 8 also.

Even if it doesn't seem to, I've read that some installers can be tricked simply by changing the text in the install script so Windows 8 would be recognized as a supported OS. Yes I got the FW1884 going under Windows 8 Professional 64 bit - this was intially and upgrade from Win 7 pro 64 bit. The straight upgrade with all applications transferred didnt work so well - lots of BSODs - so in the end I did a fresh Windows 8 install which generally worked better. One thing that bothers me a bit which someone may be able to throw light on is: The FW1884 is a bit intermittent in the way it initally connects to the Windows 8 PC at bootup. Sometimes I get a fast flashing firewire green light on it. Wait a little switch it off - disconnect and reconnect firewire cable and switch on again - the problem seems to clear and I get a steady green firewire light and audio seems to be good.

I've tried trying to install the legacy driver from the drivers I kept back from windows 7 pro. Windows 8 seems reluctant to go for the legacy firewire driver (at least it does not say legacy) I suspect I may have to remove the existing driver and update again to make it look for the old legacy driver. Otherwise does anyone have any suggestions for permanently getting rid of the winking firewire light at boot up so I dont have to keep disconnecting and reconnecfting cables + swicthing the FW powerswitch on and off to get a stable connection? Thanks Simon Rodwell UK. Omega Trust Prosperity Programs on this page. Let me know what you find out. Both your suggestions are good - the task manager looks better in Windows 8 Pro.

I seem to remember when I got Windows 7 going with the FW I had similar problems and remembered trying to change the IRQ priority level on one of the firewire devices at one stage. I also remember not being sure which one of my two firewire devices was controlling the FW.

One is VIA and the other LSI. I always thought the VIA was the host motherboard controller because my card is an old Adaptec TI one. So I focussed a lot of my attention on the LSI firewire controller as I thought that was the one controlling my card. The host port never works well with the TASCAM if it doesnt have a T1 chipset as most FW users know. Still the overall good news is that the FW seems to work OK with Windows 8 64 Pro when it finally connects.

I reckon i am getting lower latency values with it - although I dont think the Adaptec card gives the best anyway to be honest even though it has the Texas T1 chipset. Let me know what you discover and thanks Simon UK. After many hours searching the web for a resolve i managed to get tascam fw 1884 working as it should under windows 8.this is how i did it on a 64bit win 8 system. Firstly run cmd as administrator then type the following and enter/ exit bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS then follow these instructions from then install fw1884 exe by right click and choose properties/compatibility/then run the trouble shooter/troubleshoot program/tick worked in previous/tick win 7/run and load successfull. If youve followed this then it should mean you now have fw1884 working correctly without having to disable signature on every boot.
