I wonder if any of this will reach back into their DM-3200/4800 product line? They have interface cards that could move that hardware forward. Mine is actually pretty well integrated but it would be nice to know I could look forward to continuing to use it.

good for them! i quit using Tascam devices a year or so ago because of how god-awful their 64 bit drivers were for the us-122l & us-144 (i switched to the  Roland Quad-Capture right before they dropped Cakewalk). maybe when my Roland device conks out, i will give Tascam another looksee
just before Gibson drop Cakewalk?

That's what would happen to me

If only they would make an interface with 16 to 24, line level, TRS inputs,  for easy interfacing to a mixer.

No more Tascam for either. They made some great hardware that eventually turn into doorstops because of driver support. 



Which is always a strong argument for bringing this kind of thing in-house. Life gets vastly more complicated when others own the IP rights...consider how Cakewalk can't do anything with the VC-64 because no one can find the person who owns the rights.

That I don't know...but TASCAM is receptive to suggestions, and does consider them. There's a contact tab on their web site that probably won't get you to the people you need, but at least could point you in the right direction.
 
I'll ask my contacts at TASCAM if they have the equivalent of a "suggestion box."

This may be a dumb question. If so I apologize. I am using a US-1800 will this benefit me at all? I like the unit anyone have any suggestions to get the best out of it now?

What should I look for in terms of identifying issues with use of my  TASCAM US 122 Audio/MIDI Interface unit.  I've been able to use the VISTA driver  (Version 3.4 I think) and find that, with a little coaxing,  it works. Maybe I'm just not  up to speed enough on what I should expect out of an AI unit.

Well I hope there will be something in it for me as well. I have a US 1800, that works well, but if some extra can be squeezed out of it, so much the better. And if it could also benefit from USB 3, that would also be cool, because that is what is on the Laptop that I use if I go mobile, and could free up a usb 2 slot that could be used for something else, like the BCF2000 that I usually would leave at home.

Yes now you've done got all us folks with our old door stop Tascam interfaces all excited thinkin' they might be kind enough to take pity on all our years of sufferin' with crappy drivers and take the time to see if 'n they could be fixated. 
I'd still be using my us1641 if the drivers were just a tad bit more stable. 
Right now it's powering my office computers music playback system. The lights look cool..
