Does my laptop have a SMS?

Apple -> About this Mac -> More information -> Hardware and then it says on the right something like "Sudden Motion Sensor activated"

Would that be in the "Hardware Overview" section, where the machine name and serial number are?

Yes, at least for me. In short, all Powerbooks since the February 2005 revision as well as all MacBooks and MacBook Pros have it.

There is a "BUT" ... PowerBooks G4 1,67GHz (like mine) only show the SMS in Hardware Overview after a restart. Please note, NOT a normal start, you have to REstart the PowerBook, ONLY then the info will be given into the Hardware Overview section.

It looks like that tools like MultiAlarm (Version 3.1) can't aktivate the Arm (Menu "Alarm" -> "Arm") until the info is given here.

Apple knows about the Problem: [link:]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303178
