Re: Power of II supplies?

First off, juust check the label on the machine for the wattage.
Somewhere there will be a labels which gives the Voltage and 
either the wattage or the # of amps. Volts times amps will
give you watts.  I doubt you'll have enough juice since the
monitor probably runs over 100 watts.

Speaking of monitors, unless your inverter is a really good
one your monitor will be unhappy running off it.  The wave
forms of most inverters are somewhere between a square wave and a 
triangle wave-Definateloy not the sine wave which it should be.
On most equipment this doesn't mean a whole lot, but anything
with a wierd (read switching) power supply will be upset by this
(even a regualrr power supply will run its trnasformer a bit hot
under these circumstances).  A swtching power supply might work,
but it might not, even worse it could self destruct!

Speaking of switching power supplies, thats what your
friendly Apple ][ uses, so...

I wouldn't try it...
