Hello all,
I wish my first post to the forum wasn't a cry for help, but unfortunately that is the way it seems to be. I just purchased a used 828(mk1). The unit appears to be in good condition cosmetically, FWIW. I have since downloaded the latest driver 1.2.5 from MOTU and installed it without incident on my powerbook (running Jaguar) I have bought a new FW cable as well. All connections seem to be good. I just can't seem to get the computer to recognize the MOTU device through the firewire. Someone...please....help...me! I have also installed the driver on my wife's powerbook (running Panther) with the same result. No MOTU. MOTU support lines are busy and I haven't been able to get through. Nor have I rec'd a response to my email inquiries. Anyone? Thoughts please?

hi, i'd really like a followup on this. what happened when you sent it off? i have just experienced the same exact symptoms, except my tibook has killed TWO 828's this week alone! i KNOW its not the firewire port... my personal guess is that their new driver f'd up the firmware, and for all intents and purposes my life, as i have ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO RECORD ANYTHING NOW, save the lovely line in on the back of the powerbook... please, anyone with an original 828, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS DRIVER. DO NOT GO TO TIGER. YOU WILL DIE.

Try un-installing it using the installer application by selecting the install type to uninstall and then re-install it if that doesnt fix it go to www.macupdate.com and look for the motu firewire and it should give you motu firewire update 1.4.1, this fixed it for me which was weird since it looked like the same regular 1.2.5 installer but something in it fixed the problem.
