I bought the same one, the drivers i had were for windows 98/me /2000. I believe the company is Pacific Technology from Taiwan. I found them on google, use VE-007NHD to search, I don't know if it works on Mac, it didn't work with my imac. Arne -- PowerBooks is sponsored by

Re: 3400 and TV interference

Yes, RF is Radio Frequency. Based on what my Duo does to my AM radio when it's nearby, I'd not be surprised at all about any TV interference. Not really sure what you/she could do about it save trying to rotate things around a bit, and increasing distance. I guess you could wrap the 'book in foi

Re: 3400 and TV interference

Bad grounding of circuits of house. Grounding loops or neutral loops also possible. If running coaxial cable for TV feed, check ground connection at splitter. For shielded cable of any type to work properly both ends of cable must be grounded at interfaces.Plugs must be tight. ... Carrying this t

What do you mean by parallel cycling? Isn't that when to bicyclists are riding down the road two abreast? ;) Seriously though, what do you mean. The reason I ask is that I have two Li-ion batteries and one seems to last longer than the other. ...

Sounds like it might be electrical interference if it's happening throughout the house. Is the PB3400 being run on the AC adapter? If so, the AC adapter is probably the culprit. Tom Roth * tel 336.716.4493 Wake Forest Un
