The outer sleeve is not connected. It is present for mechanical strength. Also to shield the inner connector from possible shorts. (Previous PBs used a female connector and no outer sleeve. This PB uses a male connector with a protective sleeve). Inside the sleeve is a 3mm (more or less) tip-ring plug. You measure the voltage at the tip and ring. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
