I'm syncing my 808 with the MD, but in order to do that I am using a 
Doepfer MSY2. See http://www.doepfer.de/msy2.htm for more information.

The MD is sending MIDI out, and the 808 needs sync-24 in. Even though the
din contacts used for MIDI and sync-24 look exactly the same, it is not
the same communication protocol that they use. The MSY2 converts between
MIDI and sync-24.

Did this help you? I did not really understand how you connected the MD 
and the 808 to each other.
