Thanks all for your help. No sleep it is then.

sorry missed your post. I guess it is what it is, but i am just curious if anyone else with Kona 3G has experienced the same behavior.

Ok, so i tried waking the machine up from sleep again but with same results (frozen desktop with the finder bar clock frozen at the time machine was put to sleep.
-
checked it, i do have the current version (dates of firmware under both current version and version on device labels are the same). But i clicked the update button anyways just in case and it updated it, i power cycled the machine, and will try to sleep it again as soon as i am done working on it.

i am not sure of that. How do i find out whats the current firmware on my card and how do i update it?
thanks.

BVM was, and still is the best and the most color accurate monitor ever to have existed on the planet earth, period. And that is both for 709 and 601 signals. PVM was/is the second in the chain of command and you can trust the colors on it with the same assurity as the BVM .
And as bob put it, if you can find either of the above in good condition, that would still be the way to go, even in 2009.
IMHO, LCDs and plasmas are simply, not, there, yet…Sony’ best BVM class LCD is still not there yet. They are getting close, but still far from being color accurate for critical evaluation.
Plus, the biggest advantage of having a CRT is the fact that you can monitor your interlaced footage in its purest form and foresee any artifacts that you may yourself cause during editing/post process (retiming footage, transformations, etc.) And a CRT is THE ONLY way to monitor an interlaced SD signal in its truest form.
If you can find a BVM/PVM with an HD Card that would serve you well for 1080i/p as well. PVM came populated with an HD/SD component input from the factory (look for their 20L5/1 version if you will, that specific version have the capability of displaying 24p (23.976) signal.

i ran mojo SDI on my macbook pro (unibody) with a 800 to 400 cable (no adapters just the cable with different ends) flawlessly. I ran mc 3.0 and then 3.1.x without a hitch. Now I have mc 3.5 and i have not had a chance to connect mojo SDI yet but i dont anticipate any problems.

Hi Jimmy, sorry I did post something but edit-deleted it after realizing that my info may not have served you in any way as you were asking about non north-american models (right?)
