I'm curious to know if there is a PCMCIA card to Firewire product. Maybe I was dreaming, but I thought I saw one in a PC catalog. Any ideas?

Ratoc, Newer Technologies and a few other companies make firewire PCMCIA cards. I don't know if you'll have to upgrade the cardbus to except 32-bit cards though.

Give the display a good hard slap on the back. Seriously. This cured my WallStreet display problems.

Damien is right. I had the same problem with my Wallstreet 250. Although the problem appeared after more than 12 months after purchase the repair was covered by Apple warranty. Now…

It does sound like the Cable Problem. It happened to me twice. The first time after 3 months and then again after 15 months. Apple repaired it for free on both occasions.
