Re: query for pcmcia Travelstar 8E users

[Gary D. Adams]

I've got the drive, and I don't think I've ever seen the light on. It 
draws power from the bus, if I recall. I just plug in the card and fire 
up my Pismo. And when I shut down, I just shut down and unplug it.

Clear instructions needed please,
I have just purchased an empty Travelstar 8E case and put in an Apple 
laptop drive. The case is powered by the pcmcia card, but I was 
wondering if someone could tell me when to use the 'power on' and 'off' 
green button on the drive. Do I insert the pcmcia card, wait for an icon 
to appear and then power the drive 'on', or does it need to be 'on' at 
insertion. Also, when I want to shut it down, do I leave it 'on' and 
drag the icon to the trash, or do I turn it 'off' first and then drag 
the icon to the trash?
Thanks.
