Tascam Us-122 With Osx 10.3.2, compatable? Options

[mintbill]

HELPP! I have just bought the tascam US-122 to use with my 500MHz G3 iBook (dual USB) running Panther, and I can't get it to recognize the unit. I have installed the Panther version of the driver & software from the Tascam site and no matter what I try the USB light will not come on, nor will the App. recognize the unit.

In frustration I installed the SW on my work mac (15" G4 Powerbook) and it all works fine.

Both machines are running the same version of Panther, same cables were used, same everything!

Can anyone help? Tascam's customer support is nonexistent...

Hi. i posted this on another thread, before i saw this one:

I just got a US-122, today. I am a home recorder, or I want to be. but i need some help getting the 122 to work. the users guide kind of made my eyes glaze over, i'm not familiar with much of the vocabulary. It's supposed to come with Cubasis but i can't find any Cubasis. GigaStudio just has a Setup.exe. I don't see any mac installer.

I have a 700Mz iBook(dual usb)G3 with OSX.2.3. I want to record my guitar, just for starters. I installed the drivers. I plugged in 122. I plugged in Les Paul. the signal light goes on. I selected Tascam 122 in Sound Control panel. I don't get any guitar sound through iBook speakers. I plugged headphones into 122. I can't hear any guitar, although I can hear some music i recorded using the iBook built in mike, with SoundStudio--that plays through the headphones when connnected to 122. So, 122 is acting as a sound interface of some kind with my iBook, but i can't hear the guitar playing through it. And i don't have any Cubasis to record with. I don't see any way to use SoundStudio with it.

I'm sure there must be something i'm not turning on or adjusting or connecting, or maybe it's just the lack of recording software. Its supposed to come with recording software, but where is it?. The users guide of 122 says there are user forums on the Tascam site but i don't see any link. I also see on the site that it says for US-428 users, they don't ship with Cubasis for the mac or it's not available yet, but will be shipped out when it becomes available. ??

Can anyone suggest some way i can get started with recording? I assume i need some software other than Sound Studio. Is there a mac installer for GigaStudio that i am mysteriously not able to see?

thanks to anyone who has any info. i feel apologetic for being so ignorant.
