A bit of this will depend on the clock design. A number of clocks use the CPU to control the high voltage supply. If the CPU locks up for some reason, the HV supply can go up in a puff of smoke. If the clock has that type of power supply, then I would say that a UPS is more important than a surge protector. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
