USB hub - full function ?
All this USB hub discussion made me think of a problem that I've been experiencing... When I have amy keyboard connected through my powered 4-port USB hub (iMac kbd short cable), it doesn't work the way it does if it's plugged directly into the Mac, e.g. the power key etc. Is there an explaination ?

Disc Utilities First Aid sees the drive as well, but the only option is offers is verify disk when I do that, I get Verify Disk . Volume %@ needs to be repaired.

Maxtor is a reputable Hard Disk manufacturer. Go to the website and fill the forms and get a RMA (return merchandise authorization) and they will fix it for free, or exchange it for you.

Yes. When the computer is off, small amount of current from the power supply's standby power output is bled into one of the USB lines through a resistor. When the power on key is pressed, this current source is shorted out. A voltage comparator on the mother board senses the corresponding voltage change and signals the power supply to turn on. It is a very elegant hack that allows an otherwise un-powered USB bus to do something it was never designed to do - send a signal when it is off. The hub inserts a USB transceiver between incoming and outgoing USB signals, and this transceiver blocks the signal current. Paul -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: usb hub
I need a USB hub with at least 4 ports On 08.02.03 13:31, Bruce Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This subject is covered in the current issue of the Voice newsletter of the MacValley User Group, which ran an article about the various problems that can be caused by USB devices and inadequate hubs.

I will speculate that the Per-Tech succeeds where others fail due to the fact that it's got a very large internal power supply to stabilize voltage on all devices... Thanks for the tip, Bruce.

PB network problem
I posted about this problem a few days ago but there's been no feedback; maybe my post was too long. I'll rephrase it briefer. I have a 12 PB with a wifi card. The PB has a static IP address. Occasionally I find that when using the ethernet connection the PB is no longer able to transmit or receive across the network - no browsing, no email, no ping, even to devices within my own local suib-net. This happens intermittently, and when it does happen it's only after a while - an hour of use? - and some days never. The network configuration looks OK, but running this command: 'ipconfig getifaddr en0' in a terminal window gets this response: 'get if addr en0 failed, (os/kern) failure' Has anyone else ever seen this? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Tom Burke -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You are correct. But after you have done the data recovery this should be the next logical step. No?

Re: how much to spend to fix powerbook
Lynn, Check out powerbooktech.com. They have a flat rate labor charge and I think they will even install a drive that you purchase elsewhere. A HD replacement is a very easy upgrade/ replacement though. You may be able to do this yourself. Shawn On Sunday, August 3, 2003, at 10:07 PM, Lynn wrote: Hi, Thanks for the info. I am a bit confused. Not only do I have the whistling sound when the adapter is pushed into the jack , but my additional 300 plus ram is not showing up in the system profiler. It shows up under about acomputer, but that is it. I have been getting memory problems for awhile and wasn't aware that the computer wasn't acknowledging all of the ram. It stops whistling if I hold the plug and push it into the jack tighter. I am using a brick. I have a backup yo yo but am not too thrilled with it. THe last two have sparked on just one use. I can't record to a cd firewire backup. I get errors or else it hangs during finishing session. I can get backup to my swappable zip drive though. Disk first aid fixed a volume error the other night. I am not sure where to go with all of this. At first I htought it was the drive, now it looks like it could be adapter or both and why the trouble with the firewire? A mac guy will charge 50 to come to my house (am disabled and can't drive), 85 per hour for labor, and 200 for a new Toshiba drive. I have heard the ibm travelstars are better and cheaper. Not sure how much I should spend on this if the money could go toward a newer model. Am now very confused about whether the computer has one problem or multiple problems.
