soulfingers7,
I can't figure out how to contact you outside this forum, so ... I see you want the FE8... but can't the 1884 expand another 1884? I have a Tascam FW-1884 with less than 10 hours of use, never out of my room, original box, manuals, etc. Can you use this? Or should I try to sell it on eBay. It seems there are plenty of knowledgeble people here - is this an ok place to let people know about it? If I am breaking a rule here, I apologize. Was just reading through and saw this. I will go to the rules again now, this probably isn't what you want on this board?
