Perhaps I am not calling the correct pin pin 1 but, as I stated above, when looking into the jack with the powerbook sitting on the table turned around backwards and the little notch on the RJ-45 at the top or course, then if you call the leftmost pin number 1, then pins 1 and 2 are NC. I have this in front of my face as I type this. I am also looking at the clear dongle plug. Incidentally, last nite I decided to utilize the 14 foot CAT5 cable as the power cable also. I used the two NC wires to carry the 22 volt (measured) power to the Powerbook. Then I connected two small wires from the appropriate powerjack terminals to the appropriate RJ-45 jack terminals. Now my Powerbook is always connected to phone line, printer and power supply with one 14 foot cable for full-length couch/desk mobility. The CAT5 cable obtained at Radio Shack is quite soft and flexible compared to some I have seen. Greg __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
