Now that Gibson, which owns Tascam, is buying Cakewalk, which makes SONAR, I hope Tascam will reconsider updating drivers for the FW-1884 and other similar control surfaces. These hardware units are still excellent when used with a DAW, and Tascam is buying a DAW (SONAR). The developers of SONAR always work closely with Microsoft each time a new operating system is tested, and it only makes sense to keep compatible with the latest OS.
I would be willing to pay for Frontier Design (which writes the driver for the FW-1884) to do the update. I am aware some users were able to get the Windows 7 driver working under Windows 8, so the change cannot be substantial. Let's just make it seamless so we don't have to fight with it.
