Dennis, I'm simply flabbergasted! I'm confused. Is your keyboard only so powerful as a conduit because it's plugged into the master (top) USB port? I tried plugging in the floppy via directly into the UsB port, but not the top one. I assumed I would have a plug and play experience and bought it because Apple was featuring it. My keyboard couldn't power it. No one on the list suggested that I might try the master port. I don't know what an iMate is. You've got a jolly good set up.
