Powerbook 12 and Sony MicroVault

A simple and annoying problem - everytime I plug the new MicroVault into the powerbook, the powerbook dies - screen goes black and I have to reboot.

Any ideas?

MicroVault is USB 2.0 and works in my PC and my iMac DV (10.1) no problems, just the powerbook fails. If I boot up with it in place the powerbook sees it but after ejecting it, the powerbook refuses to sleep.

Any known problems with USB and 10.2.4?
 
Upgrade to 10.2.5 and then give it a try. That update does correct problems with usb along with a few other 'minor' bugs.
 
Thanks Cheryl - already tried that and no difference. I believe it to be a hardware power problem with the USB sockets on the Powerbook. Apple have not confirmed it yet but that's what it looks like to me and others that see the symptom. I don't know if it is just my powerbook or all of them is affected :(
