I use a Vivante SE (2 yrs. old) and the power supply
connection has become loose such that you have to apply
sideways pressure from different angles to resume
contact. I now use a heavy clip on the connector as a
weight to maintain contact or I can hang the AC cord
down over the side of a desk to use gravity.

What OS (Win98 is better than Win95C or OSR2)?
Does it work with another PC? Do any other USB devices
work?
