Tascam DM-24 and Firewire cared - too good to be true?

Hi - I've been following Tascam's recent release of their new IF-FW/DM Firewire expansion card for their DM-24 digital mixer. Apparently, with the expansion card installed on the DM-24, you're able to have 24 inputs and outputs from your DAW to the DM-24 over a single Firewire connection.

Tascam Firewire DAW Controllers

I just noticed that Tascam will be rolling out their new controller, ( the US2400 ) and I'd like to get a few responses from some of you who may own the FW1884 controller. I know the 1884 is a audio/midi/controller interface & the 2400 is just a controller. But as far as a controller, how well does it do with your favorate S/W? Also just how dependable is Firewire?

Rosetta 800/firewire

Opus, congrats sir! Sounds like you had a great wedding/honeymoon! Havn't been around here in a while. Just wanted to ask you about the rosetta 800 and the firewire option. This is the route I want to take using firewire. Is this option going to be out any time soon? I have yet to purchase the rosetta 800 but going to very soon. :p:
