Here's a couple of things to try...

1. See if you can get hold of another Digi002 (or even an MBox) and try swapping out the hardware even for an hour or so. This way you'll know if it's the hardware causing the problem. I've seen a fair number of Digi002's (especially older units) with hardware issues.

2. With the G4 switched off but still connected to the mains (again, turned OFF!) open up your G4, locate the small button switch near the PRAM battery and hold it down for about a minute. Close everything up, reboot, repair disk permissions and see if it's any healthier. Also, when you say you're on 10.2, is that 10.2.8? If not, make sure you are... earlier MacOS were relatively flaky. Even better, upgrade to panther (10.3.5) and get hold of PT6.7.

Good luck!
