I've even seen in (I think it was AW) of a monitor exploding because it had been left on too long! Any which manual? The A3010 user guide, the Risc Os 3 user guide, the PRMs, or the Zip Drive manual? Or -most likely, since I haven't seen it in these manuals- in another one that I will have to buy? :-) To fix this small problem, I have connected my Zip drive's adaptor and my A3010's power plug to a 3 way adaptor (which in turn is plugged into a 4 way adaptor which in turn is plugged into a single socket). Only prob. is the Zip drive's adaptor is so f***ing big. I reckon it's even bigger than my old Electron's adaptor! Does anybody know where I can get a smaller adaptor from? Also, has anybody had any experience with Doggysoft's Termite or ANT's Internet suite, I'm going to buy one or the other - but which one?
