I've been looking for a USB modem that will work with the most recent versions Mac OS X. I have a friend who currently uses the dial-up V.92 modem in her 800 MHz eMac for Internet access. I'm trying to plan ahead if some day she moves to a Mac platform without a modem.
One suggestion was to not use a USB modem but instead go with one of the earlier Airport base stations which included a modem. So I checked out what was available on eBay. Apparently it's common to sell the Snow White Airport aka Dual Ethernet M8440 by itself and NOT include the power supply unit. >From pics I've seen, I think that the M8440 uses an external PSU which supplies 12V DC and at least 0.7 A using a center positive connector. Can anyone confirm any of that? I have no idea what the size of the connector may be. Heck, I don't even know how to TALK about the connector size for these adapters. (I usually just use trial and error to try to close in on the right size plug.) -irrational john -- 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.
