In Reply to: PowerRamp and PowerRamp Mite problem posted by mckechnossomy on 20, 2000 at 5:06 AM:

I have one PowerRamp and two MITE:s. I plannet to use the MITE:s as a interface hack but I have changed my mind and will use an I-PAC instead.

My PowerRamp is working fine but the MITE:s are a bit "sticky" at times. I once tried to daisy chain the two of them and I then got the same result as you describe. ActLab told me that I can't daisy chain two PowerRamp:s because the power from the keyboard interface is not enough for two of them.

I think there is a difference between the PoerRamp and the MITE:s where the PowerRamp is the best of the two. I also think that the PowerRamp and the MITE:s migth go insane when there are not enough power to feed them from the keyboard interface. But this is just my guess...

: I have a problem with both my PowerRamp and PowerRamp Mite. Both used to work well with Quake 2 and other 3D games in my old PI 233 but when I got a PII 266 the control started freaking out. It gets stuck moving forward and won't stop, the computer is also beeping away indicating too many keys are being pressed I guess. Anyone else had this problem?
