I hope that was a little better. 'Twas a marvel. I don't know of any problems caused by a C128 drawing too much power from its supply. I never saw a C128 ps fail, but I have read somewhere that at least one has (which, I suppose, was inevitable). Of course, the switching power supply was a completely different approach (and probably significantly more expensive). -- Geoffrey Welsh - via FidoNet node 1:221/162 UUCP: ...!watmath!isishq!171.0!Geoffrey.Welsh Internet: Geoffrey.Welsh@p0.f171.n221.z1.FIDONET.ORG
