TranzPort Quote

“Believe the hype. This is the shizzle. If you have a DAW, you should run, not walk, and order a TranzPort. The TranzPort is too cool for school. This is a no-brainer, must-have for anyone with a DAW, and an indispensable tool for the 21st-century studio.”

Dan Richards, Studio Reviews Magazine, August 2005

Windows driver v1.2.1 fixes a bug that was discovered in the v1.2 TranzPort Windows driver, which mostly affected users with Windows 2000. The bug could in some cases cause the computer to lock up if the TranzPort USB adapter was plugged in during boot.

If you have not yet installed a Windows driver for TranzPort, you should download and install this version, rather than the v1.0 version on the TranzPort v1.0 CD-ROM.

If you have installed a previous version of the Windows driver, you should download this version and install it on your machine. To do this, please disconnect the TranzPort USB interface and restart your computer. Then run the v1.2.1 installer to completion, and reconnect the USB interface.

This version includes the updated SONAR v1.2.4 plugin.

To verify that you’ve got the v1.2.1 driver installed properly, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the System32Drivers folder beneath your main Windows folder. (For example, c:windowssystem32drivers) Find the TranzPort.sys file, right-click it and choose “Properties…” Click the Version tab, and make sure that the file version is 1.2.1.1. [Note that to see the full file names you will need to uncheck the “Hide file extensions for known file types” option in the Windows Explorer “Tools | Folder Options” dialog’s “View” tab.]
