Yes. I have run my Mac mini for a week using sleep, and running the car each day with no noticable effects on my battery.
If you are talking about Pulse Start, yes. You can wire this to a remote starter or car alarm.

You da man.

MikeH, I'd be interested in this for a PC, is the pin compatible with the header? do you sell the Y cables? (on the mp3car.com store possibly???

)

RoyN,

The P1900 is compatible with quite a few PCs. HERE's the compatibility matrix.

Not sure which header your talking about. If you mean the ATX PSU connector, no, the P1900 is simply a +19V regulator.

We manufacture a Y-cable power button kit for the Mac mini which will be for sale in the MP3Car Store later this week. Is this what you mean?

I wanted to know just if the Y-Cable power cable is compatible with ACPI header on PC mobos....

No. It is made specifically for the Mac mobo pin sizes. The PC mobo header is much larger. Sorry.

Is there interest in a PC- Y-cable? Perhaps we could offer one.

I have a P1280 and I would definitely be interested in a PC Y-cable. I'd like to still be able to use the Casetronic C134 power button in certain circumstances. For example, when the PC is out of the car and on the bench, I have no easy way to power on/off since the power button has been disconnected. I have to crack open the case every time and swap the header connector.
