For some reasons my 12" Powerbook does not provide enough energy to the USB device.
I have an external hard-drive, 80 GB USB 2.0, that has two connecting cables. It usually works fine with just the connection cable on a desktop with a USB 2, but if you have only a USB 1 or you have a particular situation you can use the other cable as well, its purpose is solely to provide energy when needed. When I first used the powerbook on OSX it worked fine with just a cable, and the same with Linux. Now it's gradually getting worse, and I can't even transfer decently any file. I am sure thr USB 2 works and it's configured, since if I plug the energy cable into another computer and the connecting cable in my 12" it works fine, meaning that I just nedd to provide more energy from my USB ports. I was told that I had to configure this through the open firmware, but I have no idea of how to do it.
