I still have one, I found most of the problems I had with it were down to the rubbish power supply that come with it. After I chopped the power lead in half and added a molex connector to power it from the 12v supply inside the PC it behaved much better - rather than dropping out whenever the blue LED came on and the extra current draw overloaded the rubbish PSU. I suspect most of the surviving ones have had some kind of mod involving the power supply. The drivers stopped working when XP SP2 was released and Psion terminated support at this point rather than rewrite the drivers - so if you did keep your PC up to date it became useless then. But the old drivers did start working again under Vista, which was a bit if a surprise to me. -- Gareth Davis | Production Systems Specialist World Service Future Media, Digital Delivery Team - Part of BBC Global News Division * http://www.bbcworldservice.com/ * 702NE Bush House, Strand, London, WC2B 4PH - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
