 As valiant as Voltronic's efforts have already been,  it may not matter whether you try email, mail, or a carrier pigeon when customer service just doesn't respond.

BTW, I just learned that Tom was not a customer service rep with Tascam.  A quick search shows that he was actually an engineer with Teac from 1991-1999, and since 1999 has been a Teac / Tascam engineering manager.

Hmm, very interesting! Its a shame he was scared away so easily, because it seems he had the knowledge to actually do the FW updates!

Well, no response to my email.  I'm trying again but without the web form, and going to custser@teac.com through regular email.

I just received an email back stating that they are forwarding my list to the R&D department in Japan for review.

Now I'm sure all our firmware wishes will come true.   ;)

Good job voltronic.  Many of your suggested firmware enhancements could be easily implemented.

Let's hope the next TASCAM employee ain't so thin-skinned....

(Full Disclosure:  My TASCAM DR-22WL performed perfectly last weekend, with one of the 32Gb cards on the "approved list".  Thanks TASCAM, great machine.)

Did you use the contact form on the website or email them at the customer service address directly?  I remember a while back they had a message on their site saying that contact form was having issues.

Either way, glad to know we share a sense of humor spoken through one-hit-wonder bands...

Yeah you should be thankful, because I never liked the song that much to begin with, but Ive heard it sooo many times on the radio, that I will probably know some of the lyrics forever lol ;D
