OK. so I search the WD support site and it appears that the drive does not get enough power. but both iBook and PBook provide 500 mA to the USB bus, which I believe is the USB standard. Now what the heck? WD sells an USB cable with dual connectors, i.e. you draw power from two USB ports. or I could get a powered USB hub. But that is against portability! If I wanted a bulky solution, I already had one, I wanted something simple and portable and got nada!
