- Does this only apply to external floppies, or can the power supply be (or not
- be) plugged in while asleep? I left my PB100 on my desk for a few days, and
- started it up (without plugging it in), and received a low power message,
- that suggested that I put my computer to SLEEP, plug it in to the power cord,
- and awaken it. I have done so on a few occasions, and not seen any problems.
- Should I desist???
