More Secure, New Features St. Clair Software has updated the energy saving utility, Sleeper, to version 3.2. Sleeper allows you to control the behavior of your Mac in much the same way as Apple's Energy Saver control panel, but with more features and flexibility. The latest version adds several improvements, along with OS 9 compatibility. Sleeper provides more options, greater control, and broader hardware compatibility than Apple's Energy Saver control panel, working in many situations where Energy Saver doesn't. Multiple devices on multiple IDE buses are now completely supported.
Sleeper now handles asynchronous disk access correctly in all cases.
A bug has been fixed that caused some Macs to crash when waking from sleep. The password feature is more reliable and more secure. Compatibility problems with 3rd party USB keyboards have been improved. Sleeper now handles the Mac OS IdleUpdate and HardDiskPowered functions, improving interaction with software such as Adaptec Toast. Minor problems with Sleeper's user interface and controls have been fixed.
