I-Mac trouble [RE-wrenches]

[Richard Perez, Home Power magazine]

<x-flowed>Hello Jack

I'm not surprised that you are having problems. In general, the later 
model Macs (since the Quadras) don't like mod sine power. Even if 
they do work, they don't last long. We have two iMacs but I haven't 
had the balls to plug them into mod sine power.

I'd suggest a small sine wave inverter. Check out the Exeltechs. The 
XP1100 is an outstanding deal. They also make a 125 watt model.
