[Ham-Mac] sleep

[Rick Prather]

Now you have me a little confused (my normal state)!

I thought this started as a conversation about your Mac crashing when  
you put it to sleep.

Now, if you are talking about it not going to sleep or sleeping and  
immediately waking up that is a different deal.  That problem is  
almost always caused by USB or FW interceptions.  When I have run  
across that I disconnect each hub then each individual device until  
it works.  Sometimes moving devices around to different hubs does the  
job.
