As an owner of a Tascam FW-1082 I've been awaiting the development of working Windows 7 drivers (x64 in my case).
Imagine my surprise when I found this:

Now, the FW-1082 is still a "current" product on their website, and you can still buy it off the shelf in my neck of the woods, so having it declared "legacy" seems dodgy at best.
To be clear, I have no issue with the hardware - it works fine with XP. I'll just have to continue dual-booting to use it. However, I feel it only right to warn others that buying a Tascam product is clearly a gamble if you intend to keep it for a while.
