That's a connector problem, pure and simple. Grunge and corrosion in the connectors will cause problems like that...putting them in different machines means the connectors take slightly different paths in mating, which scrapes a bit off, making connections again. Try cleaning the connectors with contact cleaner. Most contact cleaners are ok for plastics, but test it on an inconspicuous part of your pismo case before spraying stuff around. > -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
