- Last year, BMUG sold several hundred small no-brand modems with adb power,
- unknown-maker prototypes, and we got several. We've used them with a
- Powerbook 100 (great when travelling), with an SE30, a Mac IIX, a
- Performa, and a PowerPC 7500 with no problems. Only machine that didn't
- work was a Plus, which doesn't use adb. The power draw is very small, and
- nothing's blown a fuse yet, as many have warned.
