Yes, this is trivial. Such units are designed internally to run on DC. You merely have to provide an adapter that converts 120 VAC to the required DC voltage. That's why wall-wart adapters for battery-powered devices usually come in 1.5 V steps for output voltage. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27378 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
