Re: How much strain can a IIGS power supply handle?

Hi Hilary,

Doesn't seem to be anyone else answering except us Aussies. :)

Sorry Matthew I forgot to mention that before, but I expect the Power Supply
output would be rated the same in US as Oz. And I'm in the tropics in
Townsville with no airconditioning. We get an average of 20-30deg Celcius
most of the year going up to 35deg Celcius 95% humidity in the wet season. I
also leave my case lid off most of the time, because I like to PnP a lot,
testing other hardware.

Mark
