That's what an Apple Keyboard reports when it's running off one of the Macs USB ports. Apple Keyboards are NOT fully powered hubs and do not actually provide 500mA. This has ALWAYS been an issue with USB devices plugged into the keyboards. They have to be very low current-drawing devices, and a camera, for example, with mostly discharged batteries is going to draw more current than allowed, hence the low power warning. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- 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.
