TASCAM FW-1082 Setup Guide
2 – Installation (Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
When the FW-1082 is installed on a Windows system
as described here, it provides audio ASIO 2.0, WDM
(MME) and GSIF2, including kernel level MIDI.
System requirements
Your computer should meet the specifications listed
below:
Minimum requirements: Computer running
running Windows 2000 or Windows XP and fitted
with a 6-pin IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port.
Recommended: Follow your DAW software
requirements for processor speed, memory require-
ments, etc.
NOTE
The FW-1082 software cannot be used with Windows
95, Windows 98 or Windows Me due to lack of full sup-
port for IEEE 1394 in these operating systems.
We strongly recommend that before the installation,
you ensure that the latest patches, service packs, etc.
are downloaded and installed, using the
Windows
Update feature.
In addition, you should also note that your computer
must be fitted with an IEEE 1394 interface, which is
enabled. This interface should be OHCI compliant.
To check this, right-click on
My Computer on the
desktop and select Properties . From there, select
the Device Manager on the Hardware tab (see Figure
2.1).
You should see an item labeled IEEE 1394 Bus host
controllers . Click the plus sign ( + ) next to it to
expand it.
The controller fitted in your system should appear as
shown in Figure 2.1, with no question marks or
crosses beside or over the icon.
