From the releasenotes by Tascam (for download at

Version 1.04
New Features
• To ensure proper recording while synchronized, the X-48 must now be in a locked
state to external timecode and clock before entering record. This is consistent
with previous TASCAM recorders (DTRS, MX-2424).
• New keyboard shortcuts have been added:
o “I” sets a punch-in point.
o “O” sets a punch-out point.
• In the I/O tab of the Settings window, it is now possible to select “Professional”
or “Consumer” mode for the S/PDIF output.
• It is now possible to use the CTRL+C (copy) and CTRL+V (paste) shortcuts from
a QWERTY keyboard to copy/paste text in the Track Screen’s track naming fields.
Maintenance Items
• Optimizations have been made to reduce CPU resources used by the VGA user
interface while recording.
• Previously, rare cases were reported of tracks playing out of time. This has been
fixed in 1.04.
• Previously, destructive recording mode would leave files on the hard drive
beyond the expected one audio file per track. This has been corrected in 1.04.
• Previously, mixer automation data was incorrectly being written whenever a fader
was moved while the transport was in motion. From Version 1.04, automation
data must be drawn in the track screen.
• Previously, the X-48 would incorrectly output a timecode burst upon locate when
the Timecode Output Muting parameter was set to Play Only. This has been
corrected for consistency with the MX-2424.
• The status indicators and meters on the VGA UI are now brighter for improved
visibility.
I am very pleased to read about the SATAPORT. On Tascamforums are pictures available from a X48 from the first release & a second batch machine release. There seem to be differences between the two models. Could be there are machines without that extra SATA-PORT. It would be nice if we can get a grip on that.
Thanks.
