Does the Unipod have enough power to do the business? Discussions that I have had with Stuart & Matt @ STD suggest that the A9's power supply is dictated by the need to provide sufficient to meet the requirements of the 4 USB ports. I've every reason to suppose that the equivalent holds for the Unipod so it may boil down to whether the device is taking no more than the specification for USB allows. If you want to be certain that the figures match then e-mail Matt directly. -- John Cartmell john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 0845 006 8822 or 0161 969 9820 Qercus magazine FAX +44 (0)8700-519-527 www.finnybank.com Qercus - the best guide to RISC OS computing
