- This simple application displays the following information in a tiny,
- relocatable window on Mac's equipped with the Power Manager (Portable,
- PowerBooks, Duo's, etc.):
-
- * digital battery voltage
- * CPU speed
- * AC adapter plugged or not plugged
- * Charging state (hi charge or trickle)
- * 2 timers which are automatically started or halted by detecting the
- insertion or extraction of the AC adpater plug:
- - actual power-on-time since last charge (ie. how long
- your Mac has been in a non-sleep or non-shutdown mode.)
- - elapsed real-time since last charge
-
- Edison does not tell you how long you have left till your battery goes dead,
- nor does it show the percentage of battery life remaining. I use
- Apple's Battery DA to help me judge these things.
-
- Edison is freeware. It requires System 7.0, and the Power Manager to run.
-
- This version fixes a few bugs that were present in the previous released
- version (1.0b) related to disappearing display windows, and a sometimes
- inaccurate battery timer. It also reduces the preferred application
- partition size from 384K to 80K. Commands have been added to reset and
- pause the battery timer, and to center the display window.
