How many USB ports does your laptop have? If it has 2, try plugging each into the machine directly. If that still crashes, you may have to use a powered USB hub to drive both devices.. or find more power efficient USB devices :) If your laptop can't provide full load to the USB port there isn't much you can do directly since its a design problem with the board. It doesn't seem like an underperforming battery or p/s since it affects both modes. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite_at_gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Thu Jul 29 2004 - 15:49:35 UTC
