I have sent the following message to M-Audio Support based on spending 1/2 day trying to get back to notmal after updating. The bottom-line is that it may be a good idea to remove "MAudioFireWireMIDI.plugin" and not use 410 Midi if you experience problems:
"There has always been compatibility problems with Firewire 410 and I am quite unhappy with this. It can not function properly with my LaCie FW 800 HD as well as w. iSight (but that is not the problem reported here) and w. Midi on Mackie Universal. Now after installing the 410 driver update my Midi did not work at all. Audio Midi setup utility for MacOS crashed. After 1/2 day of trouble-spotting I managed to work out that the cause was the "MAudioFireWireMIDI.plugin". As soon as I removed it, Midi worked again. Please inform others (if you do not know how to solve the problem) so they will not have to waste time on it. Midi in FW 410 has caused problems throughout for me"

Apart of the problems, anything good about the drivers ? Latency ? I had many problems with latency with the 410 using Guitar Rig, minimum allowed without interference was 19ms.......

The Apple MIDI configuration seems to be confused when you change the driver. If you follow this ritual when upgrading M-Audio drivers (I do this to update the FW 410) you won't have problems.
1 - Uninstall the FW 410 driver and reboot.
2 - Open the Audio/MIDI preferences, go to the MIDI config and remove the Firewire 410 device.
3 - Install the new driver and reboot
After doing this, it should work like a charm.

Anyone find a solution or work around for using the firewire 410 with Lacie D2 FW800 drives. If I connect my drive(s) to the FW800 bus, the firewire 410 flips out and ends up locking up the system. Does anyone know if this problem is only with Lacie D2 FW800 drives, or is it all FW800 drives? I've thought about trying to connect the 410 to the back of one of the drives, but I am going to wait until I have a blank drive to test it because I don't want the 410 to fry my drives with data on it.
I read somewhere else that people who were having trouble with their iSight were able to have it work by plugging the iSight into the back of the 410... this might work with the D2 drives also, but you would be limited to FW400 then. Again, I think I will try this when I get this other drive cleared off.
Also, I was wondering if any of you using the firewire 410 have experienced the monster turn on thump (signal spike) when you shut-down or power-up your mac. I have two Mackie HR-624 powered monitors connected to outputs 1 & 2, and a Mackie HRS-120 powered sub connnected to ouptuts 3 & 4. I am afraid this is going to damage them because it is so loud, so I go around and power the speakers down before rebooting... a major PITA! Anyone having similar problems or have a better solution... besides throwing the 410 in the crapper and getting something else.
M-Audio really needs to advertise these issues to consumers and let us that bought them without knowing send them in for a refund. Rediculous lack of effort for this price.
