- Phil,
- I don't know what kind of OS the 3 has, exactly, but there just is not that
- much memory to GC. Unless its moving the ram-disk around, even a 4mhz V30

- on? I've got Version1.91/F USA.

- I have had mine turn on when plugging in the 3-link cable. Thats the only time
- I've seen it happen. Maybe the case is compressing to the point of pressing the
- on key? I do have mine set for a 1 minute power-off, so I might miss it otherwise.

- PS: picked up a Universal Power Adaptor from Radio Shack for the thing, and it works
- great! now I can use the 3-link without eating batteries!
