Tascam US-122 with Lion

I have a 2009 intel iMac. After upgrading to Lion, my usb audio interface, a Tascam US-122 running the3.40 Mac OS driver from Tascam, no longer powers-up. I'e tried direct connection to the iMac as well as running through a powered USB hub. Any thoughts?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

I wrote old Tadcam a letter today and this is what it reads:



TASCAM, very soon you will meet your inevitable demise in the home audio recording industry. Making your products obsolete and not offering updated drivers is a surefire way to make a few bucks in the short term, but in the long, the only ones who will remember your name, will associate Tascam with disgust as your brand loyalty takes it's toll. You made a few bucks in the 80's and put smiles on a lot of people's faces, but those days are gone, and soon you will be too...



Companies like Avid do not have this problem as they are primarily a software company first, it's in their best interest to support as many platforms as possible. Unlike you, they were smart enough to jump on that bandwagon, whereas Captain Tascam will go down with his ship. Where once you dominated in the 80s and 90s, just a few pieces of decent audio hardware is all that you have offered us in recent years. Even if you were to invent the most revolutionary peice of home recording equipment, it's too late when everyone knows you will snub them in a few years.


Planned obsolescence might be the norm in modern-day computing, but it will not fly in the budget sector of home recording. It ESPECIALLY will not work for you because you do not have a huge market share in home recording anymore, nor do you offer superior products or any other insensitive for people to stick with your brand. Companies like Apple can get away with it because many users have multiple products in the ecosystem like an iPhone in a two-year contract, so I ask you again: What insensitive do you give us to stay with you? The answer is none. It's because of your short term greed that no one trusts you AND BECAUSE NO ONE NEEDS YOU EITHER, they will simply switch to one of your many competitors, so don't act surprised when your sales drop like a rock because we warned you multiple times… In a few years from now, when the most clears, you'll look back and ask "who the did we think we were?", but alas, no one will remember your name. I guess what blows me away the most, is how out of touch you guys are.
