I somehow incorrectly assumed the Pismo was a G4 machine as well. Anyway, it's using the Core99 PMU version so allowing to bypass sleep on Core99 machines should be safe. As mentioned in another message, just shutting down pmud achieves the same (at the cost of no longer monitoring the battery charge). Use at your own risk. Michael
