iChat/iSight can be interfered with by wireless mice
Authored by: sjmills on Sep 04, '03 03:09:46PM

I've had problems this week by an external FireWire drive unmounting itself. Disk Utility says it's fine. I called the manufacturer (Maxtor) and they said since the warranty is up, take it out of the case and try it inside my G4, in case the problem is in the FireWire interface or power supply. Just as I was about to do that, I noticed the tiny iSight cable and remembered this hint. I unplugged the iSight, and now the drive works fine (so far). So either the iSight hardware is problematic, or the thin cable causes strange problems in the FireWire bus.
