Since the Mac ADB seems to be so fragile, sensitive to long cable runs, and unplugging or plugging in devices while the Mac is on detrimental to the logic board, does anybody know of a buffer/booster unit that sould allow cable runs of 20 feet or so and would buffer the mac from nasty surges so you don't have to power down to reconnect things? ADB should be more robust along the lines of midi where you can plug and unplug stuff to your hearts content without fearing damage to components and cable runs of 25 feet are common. There's gotta be a way. Todd vogelei@nmtsun
