not sure if this should be in gps or maccar? but anyway....

Hello, Currently having a bit of a problem waking my mini from hibernation when the BU-353 GPS is attached. Also prevents mini from waking from standby.

both these modes work perfectly when the GPS mouse is not attached.

Mac Mini is formatted and running only windows XPsp2 with os x bootcamp drivers.

I've been trying to get into the bios to see what the machine is trying to boot with little success. I understand these new boards use EFI Bios? what key can i use to access these settings?

Hey mate, did you ever end up getting around this? I have the same problem with the same hardware.

hi mate,

Yeah i did. I installed Xport, which allowed me to set the GPS mouse usb port to turn off automatically before the mac went into hibernation.
