I returned the miniStack to OWC, who indeed found a problem and  
repaired it.  However, when it came back, the Cube still wouldn't  
sleep when connected to the miniStack via USB.  I connected it up to  
my son's B&W PowerMac G3, and the sleep functions all worked correctly.

So, the thought is that there may be an incompatibility between the  
Cube and the miniStack v2.  It still works great as a FireWire drive.

As I mentioned in a previous note, I now have a powered hub hooked up  
to my Cube with no other problems.
