The problem I am having is noise that the computer is making when the firewire is plugged into it with the Firepod. When the power cord isn't plugged into the computer, the noise ceases but when I plug the firepod into it in any combination of the firewire outs, etc I get this noise. This noise stops for a second when I click on something or other wierd actions like that.

Anyone have a solution?

cool - it works! (CHUD 4.1.1 - I already had developer tools installed so I dont know if they needed to be or not). My powerbook is now (largely) silent when plugged in. Bravo!

And here are some "Napplescripts" i whipped up (easier than i thought because they include a commandline tool for the processor control)

Put "Nap Off" in your startup items and you are good to go without your mac being so babyish, napping and whining all the time smile.gif
