With a male / female pigtail the unit can be plugged into a hard drive and then the power cable plugged into it to provide the minimal power that these things require. I recall wiring one right onto the processor chip with a dab of Wakefield Thermal Compound using thin bare soft iron wire and the other went on with little clips. Work like a charm. M Never sell anything on eBay or the internet for more than you are asking for it. There has been a sudden recent rash of high-ticket items bought all over the US and Canada and with literally thousands of really high-quality counterfeit cashiers cheques drawn on American banks but sent from NIGERIA with an explanation that the cheque is to be deposited and the excess money sent to a third party as soon as the cheque clears. The full face value of the bogus cheque actually DOES appear in the depositor's account within a week (for most US bank accounts) but about a month later, when the bogus cheque finally arrives back from the bank it is drawn on, the full amount of the counterfeit cheque becomes the problem of the depositor. By that time the excess funds have been sent to West Africa and are irretrievably lost. Bank fraud is the third largest source of hard currency for NIGERIA and North American individuals are their prey of choice. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
