We used it a lot a couple months ago with the last generation of MacBook Pro before the thunderbolts. Make sure you're using the latest version of Maestro. Everything mostly fine. Sometimes we'd lose it and wasted time trying to re-select it as the interface within ProTools, only to realize that somehow the Firewire bus had "dropped" it. It's difficult to tell since it's not a drive that you can see if it's mounted. But there's a window in Maestro that shows you the available units on your system, and it would be missing. So you'd just have to unplug and replug the Firewire cable, then you'd have it again. Usually meant rebooting ProTools. That didn't happen too often, but often enough.
