Tnx Bob and others. Having the disk in the 4801 is a nuisance anyway and I should get rid of it. But installing Vyatta router is easier on disk than on CF... Pity that you need a disk with less than 0.5 A. I use a standard 2.5" IBM Travelstar which draws about 0.7. I think I will get a separate external 5V power supply for the time being.
CU EJ PS Bernd, why have you a high end Matrox card in a 4801??? It just seems not to match each other... > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Camp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 7:28 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Soekris] Powersupply Net4801 > > > Hi > > A better alternative would be to get a *good* +5 volt external power > supply rated at a couple of amps.
