Eventually I found out the problem was within the Fire Wire buses. The FW-1448 doesn't like converting from Fire Wire 800 to Fire Wire 400.

The following is what I put to MOTU* recently:
[SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM]----
I cannot get DP to see my FW-1884. I have run all the installers from Tascam. The directory library/audio/plug-ins/motu control surface has the 'FW1884.bundle' (version 1.22) in it.
Audio MIDI Set up sees the Tascam.
When I go to the Set UpControl Surface Set upcommand, nothing happens when I click on the 'Add Control Surface' button.
I have tried putting the FW-1884 into all of its modes (Mackie, HUI, Native) but nothing changes.
I have had this gear working before on my old G5, I am now on an Intel I-mac - according to Tascam's forums, the driver is supposed to work on both PPC and Intel machines.
Any ideas?
