BUT when i first hooked it the computer shut down and kept rebooting, after, all sound in and out were gone in preferences.

I havent used VirtualBox, but its free (I use VMWare for running Windows 10, Ubuntu, and others).

The big problem, for me, is the firewire wire interface card for my DM-3200.

That will almost certainly be a dead end.

I suppose I can utilize something like a USB-lightpipe box).

That would work with SPDIF on my current computer, but not the new Mac Pro.

Also, I see USBStreamer B, 105, ADAT USB 2.0, driverless USB on Mac OS X.

As stated in other threads, the driver apparently needs to be upgraded, and i dont think Tascam will spend any resources on it.

Stay on Mojave, or connect to an interface with adat- aesebu or the built in TDIF.

The driver Im running now is obviously 64-bit, otherwise it wouldnt work with the 64-bit kernel (without booting into 32-bit kernel mode).

I guess what I was remembering is that the driver installer is probably 32-bit (without checking), and wouldnt work.

So, even if the installer is 32-bit, I suppose you could install the 64-bit kext manually.

Also, Im viewing this with the new Mac Pro in mind, since my old one would would need a new graphics card at minimum to support Catalina.

So either way I was thinking to be at the end of the line with firewire (though I guess I could go thunderbolt to firewire cheaply.).

However, all the associated applications are 32-bit, and will not work under Catalina, hence my comment about keeping a VM around with High Sierra or something.

So, it looks like maybe 29 firewire-TB adapter and hope the pieces work together, or 105 lightpipe-USB adapter requiring no driver.

PSkextskernel extensionsare something to avoid if possible in the transition and in the future, there are a bunch of caveats with Catalina and going forward.

However, the TMCompanion no longer works as its a 32-bit app.

One question, as the old installers may not work, for new installation on Catalina (not upgrade from Mojave), do you think that we can manually copy the MIDI and firewire driver related files If so, where are they I believe that it will work if the driver files are in the right places.

On you iMac, you had to use a firewire adapter It should be no problem, for a new install, to copy the kext and install it manually.

FYI, all my other Mac (Macbook Air 2013 and Macbook Pro 2014) work perfectly with DM4800 on Catalina.

Tascam Drivers Stayed Offline

Then i restartet the system, and after that the drivers stayed offline.

The driver appears to load with Catalina, but, no sound is produced.

It doesnt appear that they have any intention of updating the driver, so, its probably a dead product.

Tascam Driver Installs And

Driver installs and the device is recognised in the Mac System connections but not in Audiomidi setup or Logic.
