There is also a similar one available from US Robotics, model USR5637, for around the same retail cost. Either of these is also a possibility, but I'm trying to not spend too much if I don't have to as my friend's funds are limited. But it's always good to hear about other peoples experiences with these modems on a Mac. The one big question I always have is, if I buy one of these, how well will it work? > on ebay, one of these might be cost-competitive with buying the > airport plus a power supply. Ah, eBay. Most of what I see available out there now are "Buy It Now" listings, not auctions. I haven't seen a listing yet for the 3095 only for the USR5637. These have been listed at either the same price as, say, amazon or more likely at a higher total cost. How they get folks to buy something from them for more money than it costs to get it from amazon I have never figured out. And then there is always this classic: Buy It Now price: $5 Shipping $60. That one seems to never grow old. But I digress. Thanks again for the feedback on the Zoom 3095. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Maybe it's time Google up those sites which explain how to morph a PC power supply to accomplish another task. I've probably got some for an AT motherboard which are never ever going to be used again for their original purpose. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

PSU specs for Apple Airport Snow White Dual Ethernet M8440?
I've been looking for a USB modem that will work with the most recent versions Mac OS X. I have a friend who currently uses the dial-up V.92 modem in her 800 MHz eMac for Internet access. I'm trying to plan ahead if some day she moves to a Mac platform without a modem. One suggestion was to not use a USB modem but instead go with one of the earlier Airport base stations which included a modem. So I checked out what was available on eBay. Apparently it's common to sell the Snow White Airport aka Dual Ethernet M8440 by itself and NOT include the power supply unit. >From pics I've seen, I think that the M8440 uses an external PSU which supplies 12V DC and at least 0.7 A using a center positive connector. Can anyone confirm any of that? I have no idea what the size of the connector may be. Heck, I don't even know how to TALK about the connector size for these adapters. (I usually just use trial and error to try to close in on the right size plug.) -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
