Agreed - RS422 is OK but FW deck control (which worked for version after version of MC up to 4.x) is broken. That was my beef with Avid - what worked once works no more.

I will say though that if you've got a lot of TC breaks on the tape, and you're going to capture straight firewire, and not through one of the cards with RS 422 deck control, it can get ugly.

But I'm concerned I the old firewire 400 won't talk to the 800 ports on the current MacBook Pro. is anyone using these decks with MC on their current MacBooks? Do you have deck control?
