Cannibalizing my old controller

[jcb7r]

I have a Tascam FW-1884 fire wire DAW Control & Interface. The fire wire bus is really shotty and tascam doesn't have any drivers for my OS. I was wondering if I could use parts from it to build a new controller?

Yes this is possible. Do a search here and you'll find a similar project, IIRC using the same device.
