Ah - okay; no, I haven't had any problems with the motor drive when using it on
the camera alone. Also, I haven't had any problems with the flash used on the
camera alone. Just with the flash and motor drive together.
I first noticed something amiss when shooting some film of a band in a club:
set to single frame, the motor drive was taking two exposures every time I took
a shot with the T-45 flash.
A month or two later, I tried to take a few frames of a Monarch butterfly on
some Echinacia I have growing in my backyard. "A couple of shots" instead
turned into a whole roll; and not long afterward, while visiting my daughter in
British Columbia (end of August), the same thing happened again when taking
some photos of her playing ping-pong: 'a shot or two' became the whole roll.
It is a used flash (KEH) and I've had it for less than a year, so I don't
really know what to expect from it. I certainly didn't expect that; but it is a
really nice flash (well, as a concept) and I would like to be able to use it
with the motor drive.

I mean, when you use the body and motor drive by itself, does the
camera
shoot more than one frame when set to single mode? Does the multiple
firing with the T-45 and motor drive happen on more than one body? As
Chuck said, the button on the T-45 is just a switch. If the motor is
set
to single, and it fires more than one frame, it usually indicates a
defect in nicad pack or md switch in the camera body.
