TASCAM FW-1884 Owner’s Manual
NOTE
Despite the fact that you can connect and disconnect
the FW-1884 to and from the computer with power
turned on, we strongly recommend that all connections
and disconnections are made without the DAW soft-
ware using the FW-1884 running. If the DAW software
is running when connections are made or broken, it
may result in your computer crashing, or “freezing” and
possible loss of data. This also applies to turning the
power of the FW-1884 on and off when it is con-
nected—turn on the power before launching the DAW
software, and quit the software before turning off the
FW-1884.
1.3 System Requirements
The FW-1884 is supported under Windows XP and
Windows 2000. The FW-1884 is not supported under
Windows 98 or Windows ME.
In the case of Windows 2000, you must be running
SP3 or SP4 and then install the supplied Hotfix. Win-
dows 2000 SP5 includes the Hotfix, so there is no need
to install it separately. For Windows XP, you must be
running SP1 and then install the supplied Hotfix.
Windows XP SP2 includes the Hotfix, so there is no
need to install it separately.
On the Mac, the FW-1884 is supported under MacOS
9.2.2 or later, and Mac OSX version 10.2.4 or later.
Earlier versions of Mac operating systems are not sup-
ported.
