Mark, I hope you are using Thick as a Brick just in the way it is mormally used to characterize a person's qualities of mind and that you are NOT refering to Jethro Tull's famous record of the same name or are you? This fine piece of progressive Rock of the 70's is still on my top 100 list of

[time-nuts] Thunderbolt Power Question

2008-07-05 Thread Tom Clifton
As I sit here reviewing the power requirements for the Thunderbolt, I note that the -12v is only 10ma. Does this indicate that it is only used for the RS232 output and if so for a battery backup I can cheat and only service the +12v (750ma)and +5v (400ma)?
