Thanks to everyone for the info & suggestions. Lee's route is the one I was planning to take, using the schematic from the National Semiconductor datasheet for the LM317. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't exceeding the regulator's ratings (was going to hang TIP3055 pass transistor on it if I needed more current...)

If you look in the File section, there is a pdf called "12Vmicor". It is a short write-up on what I am using to make my Micor's run off 12V direct. No reason why it shouldn't work for the MSR2000 too... just need to find a convenient place to mount the LM317. Use the standard circuit found in the data sheets, plug in the values I used, or calculate your own, and you're set. Just built another one the other night. :) Lee
