The MY8-AT card provides ADAT format digital I/O via two MultiChannel Optical

Digital Interface connectors, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.

The MY8-AE card provides AES/EBU format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub connector,

and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.

The MY8-TD card provides Tascam TDIF-1 format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub con-

nector, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths. A BNC connector is provided

for wordclock output.

MY8-TD cards feature a device selector switch (EXT: 88/INT: 38) that should be set to

match the device being connected. This should be set to “EXT: 88” when connecting a

Tascam DA-88, or “INT: 38” when connecting a Tascam DA-38, DME32, or other

device.
