I used an ADAT HD24 in my old venue ~~10 years ago.
I used ADAT connect software with usb hardware to transfer
my data.

Quick check, it works with:
Windows 9X / ME / NT / 2K / XP / 2003 / Vista / XP 64 bit / 2008 / Vista
64 bit / 7 / 7 64 bit / 8 / 8 64 bit / Android / Server 2012 / OS
Independent / 8.1 / 8.1 64 bit / 10 / 10 64 bit / Linux / Mac / All / Unix

When you say "quick check", what did you do? FSTconnect will load and *looks*
like it might work, but when push comes to shove, it does not -- at least least with
Win7 64 bit.

IIRC, it refused to see the 1394 connection (even running as Admin); probably a
driver issue to get to the actual fireport hardware. Sometimes you get lucky with
ancient drivers for which no updates exist, often you don't.


I never bothered to try the 10 base T or light pipe
download options.

Very wise. That's a good way to make yourself insane -- loading dozens of Gbytes at
something a little less than 10 Mbits/second (10 baseT). And that's when you got the
connection to hold without mysteriously disconnecting. Tried 10 base T one time,
which immediately prompted getting the fireport.


I had no problem down loading several hour multi tracks
to my pc for processing.

But did you do that with a modern OS? You mentioned "10 years ago" above...
