[G4] Upgrade to USB 2.0

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

I have, you might say the same problem, however in my opion it is just 
that all, or at least most devices that are connected to the USB port 
prevent the platform from awaking once put to sleep.

I have an external 80 GB hard drive that when it is turned on and the 
platform is put to sleep, it will not awaken. Even if the drive is 
turned off after the sleep cycle is started. I also have an USB 
"i-Rocks’s All-in-1 media memory card reader" and if there is a memory 
card plugged into the reader when the system is put to sleep it will 
not awaken.

The trick is to disconnect or turn-off all USB devices before letting 
the Mac. go to sleep, then there aren't any problems.

I also have a HP printer that is connected to a USB port through a USB 
to serial converter which doesn't cause any problems, so as you can see 
not all USB connections act alike.
