For those of you who are using a MOTU UltraLite and Windows 7 64-bit edition, here is a fix for the “1394 bandwidth not available” problem.

• In Device Manager, double-click the ‘IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers’
• Right-click your FW 1394 controller and select ‘Update Driver Software…’
• Choose “Browse my Computer for driver software”
• Choose “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”. A list pops up that shows three entries:

…………OHCI-compliant 1394 Host controller
…………OHCI-compliant 1394 Host controller (legacy)
…………OHCI-compliant Texas Instruments 1394-Host controller

• From these three select: ‘OHCI-compliant 1394 Host controller (legacy)’
• Proceed to install the latest FW drivers for your audio interface

Let’s hope MOTU fix their drivers so it will work out of the box.
