I do have loads of photos. To allow easy distribution, I want to ensure that the photos I post aren't the exact ones being published in the book.
I'll do a writeup of this task with pictures in the coming weeks. Here's a quick list: 1. ICP 21 amp charge controller 2. qty. 2 each 35 amp hour batteries 3. Maxx 400 watt DC-to-AC inverter with 2 outlets and built-in fan 4. AC Power strip WITHOUT surge suppressor function (with circuit breaker) 5. Qty. 2 each D-Link DWL-900AP+ (1 as access point, 1 as bridge downlink) 6. Shell Solar SP75 75 watt solar panel - disconnected This system is somewhat more wasteful than a direct 12 VDC Soekris device (though I don't think it's all *that* much!) And who cares anyway? It's free energy. -Mike -- Mike Outmesguine President, TransStellar, Inc.

Mike, for those of us not at the meeting (and who don't want to watch the video :->), what equipment did you have running off the AC power strip? We're about to do a solar powered Soekris box on a rooftop here for fun (while we wait for a PoE feed from the basement) and although we'll probably power everything directly from the batteries at 13v, we're intrigued because yours would be a worse case for us. Do you have photos or more details? cheers, michael
