Fostex MR-8 card error 09

Hi there. I'm having trouble with my Fostex MR-8 CF card. It's an intermittent problem that keeps popping up saying card error 09. I've reformatted (also from an external source as well as the MR-8). Sometimes I can get away with recording a song and immediately transfering onto the computer, but the next time it will get halfway through and then corrupt again.

Is there a way to fool the MR-8 to connect with a MAC to record directly into Garageband, or as an alternative, for mixing in Garageband? Analog output to analog/digital interface?

I know the machine is designed to connect to a PC or use a card reader to bring the WAV file into the MAC, but it seems like ther should be a way to fool it.

hey,
i have been recording with a Tascam 424 mkII, and I'm moving up to some digital stuff.
i was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the fostex MR-8. i have plenty of experience with digital recording, so simplicity is not really an issue, although i've read it is extremely easy to use.
