You can, of course, attach a capacitor to a voltage regulator as is done on the common, home-brew IR receiver but the voltage regulator still looks more like a transistor than a capacitor.

It does not need to be pretty to be functional. >=20 > On Fri, 17 Oct 2003, Chris Gehlker wrote: >=20 > > On Friday, October 17, 2003, at 09:52 AM, Craig White wrote: > >=20 > > > No fix for iMac other than replacing motherboard - USB connects are > > > directly to motherboard. > >=20 > > I don't claim to be a tech but I know some and they have been making=20 > > board level patches on Macs for years.
