Re: Power Inverters

Note that most of these will put out 110V, not 120V. For PowerBooks, that's not generally a problem as the PowerBook AC adapter is tolerant of 110V to 130V (or so). My portable CD player's AC adapter is not so tolerant... After an hour or two of being plugged in, the CD player overheated (I

Re: AirPort in TiBook ???

I use the Orinoco driver under Mac OS 8.6. I tried to install AirPort, but the installer said that my machine (Kanga) was not supported. I did plug the card into My wife's Lombard and it just works using OS 9's AirPort software, but under OS X the Orinoco driver is required. Andrew

Re: Power Inverters

I use both. I keep the universal adapter in my bag, but have an Apple adapter permanently at my desk at home, and another permanently at my desk at work. I really dislike setting up adapters all the time, and prefer to just set the computer down and plug it in. Andrew On 2/3/05 2:27 PM

Re: Power Inverters

Inverters are also bulky, and still require you to connect the AC adapter, which makes for a mess of cords in a tight environment (car). I used to go the inverter route in my PowerBook 145b days, but I wouldn't go back. Andrew --- "Andrew, a Mac Freak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
