Re: IIGS Power Supplies: Steel vs. Aluminum encased models...

[Dan Foster <usenet@evilphb.org>]

Quick note: I talked with Dr. Stephen Buggie a few days ago.

He has about 40ish of his Bugg-Power PSUs available; mostly the 200W
version, but some 150W ones, too.

Costs about USD $37 or so for PSU+shipping within the U.S., I think?
(More elsewhere, obviously.)

If memory holds, these PSUs are external, so be forewarned. But I've
heard *very* good things about these PSUs from other happy IIGS users
over the years so I finally got around to ordering one. :-)

Advantage is that: a) beefier (and less flaky even with all slots maxed
out with current-hungry devices) and b) less heat inside the IIGS --
which also helps when you have stuff packed in the case.

He's a _very_ busy man (teaches at an university) but I wasn't in any
particular hurry, anyway.
