I would also look at the OWC On-the-go mini-Firewire drives. (They come in different connection flavors as do the full size OWC products.) I think other companies put out similar ones. The drive can operate with power from the computer's Firewire port or a separate power adapter (used

Stuck with safe boot

2010-08-16 Thread Mike Linnett
Evening all, My MDD is playing up. When booting normally it gets as far as the blue screen (before the login window appears) and that's it. Most annoying. I can do a safe boot (holding shift) and it'll boot and be useable, but it's not quite the same. So far I have tried running the 10.5.8

USB plug case sparks

I've got a G5 PowerMac which has the full metal case. Last night I was plugging and unplugging a powered USB hub in the dark, and I noticed that simply touching the metal of the USB plug to the metal of the case caused a small visible spark between the plug and the case. This seems wrong
