MOL on Powerbook G3's

[Jamie Maynard]

Hi

First off you may want to try upgrading to the latest version of MOL.
0.9.60 is 5 versions out of date and there have been many improvements since
the 0.9.60 release of MOL.

Try this first.  Also I suggest looking at the archives as other people have
reported similar problems with other types of hardware.  If you can't find
anything post back and we'll see If we can't help more.
