Hi, I'd like to think that was the issue, if I haven't used SNow Leopard with it just fine as well. The thing that makes it look odd as well is that I can use it for some time when I haven't used it in a while. DOing all kinds of stuff with the wire would usually show where the broken part is, but nothing happens. It might be the driver, but I wonder how they got outdated. I'm almost tempted to go back to OS X 10.6.0 to see if that might be the case, as it is a preinstalled driver.
