On my old system (AthlonXP 2000, I forgot what kind of
motherboard),
when the system was turned off, everything went dark.
But on the new system, the Midisport stays powered up even after the PC
is turned off. I can tell it's up because the green LED is still
blinking. The PC really is off, the disks are stopped, no moving parts
move, everything is cold.
Well, I guess this is more of a hardware question, but still, what's the
deal with USB on these new motherboards? Is the bus still powered even
after the system is turned off?
USB is still powered to support wake-up via keyboard/mouse?
Furthermore these new machines aren't off when you switch them off due to
acpi. Only real possibility to make them suck no energy is either the
mains-switch at the back of the power-supply or popping the power-cord out of
the machine or the wall...
